Congress, on Tuesday, called the exit of former Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Ajit Jogi from the party “good riddance,” saying that he has saved it the trouble of expelling him and that he will not be able to harm it.

Jogi ceases to be a Congress Working Committee (CWC) member and Chairman of AICC’s tribal cell after his announcement of floating a new party. He has saved us the trouble of expelling him. It is a good riddance that he has left.

Still smarting from debacles in Assembly polls in four states, Congress received a setback with two CWC members – Ajit Jogi and Gurudas Kamat – quitting the party on Monday.

While Jogi formally announced he would launch a new political outfit, Kamat said he was quitting politics altogether.
