Milind Deora Joins Shiv Sena: Reason behind leaving Congress
This list is long and the exception to this is former Deputy chief minister of rajasthan Sachin Pilot, who remained in the congress despite the promises made by the top leadership not being fulfilled. He had rebelled against the then chief minister of the state ashok gehlot in 2020, but later softened his stance. On Sunday, Pilot said on Deora leaving the party, "Everyone is free to choose their party and ideology, only time will tell whether their decision was right or not." Union minister Jyotiraditya Scindia factionalism in the madhya pradesh unit of Congress. Wasn't that patient about it. He resigned from congress to join bharatiya janata party (BJP) in march 2020.
Scindia had said that he can no longer tolerate the insult from senior leader Kamal Nath. In june 2021, another former UPA minister Jitin prasad left the congress citing the party's growing distance with the people. After this, a series of exodus began, in which priyanka Chaturvedi joined the undivided Shiv Sena, former gujarat unit working president hardik Patel moved to the bjp, former Mahila congress chief Sushmita Dev joined the TMC, while former Union minister R.P.N. Singh, former punjab congress chief sunil Jakhar and party spokesperson Jaiveer Shergill also joined BJP. The process that started with senior congress leader Himanta vishwa Sharma leaving the party during the 2014 lok sabha elections to join the bjp never really stopped and the resignations of many big leaders continued, even in Punjab. Former chief minister Amarinder Singh also switched to bjp citing personal insults ahead of punjab elections in 2022. Explaining his decision, an aide of Deora said, “It is impossible to meet rahul Gandhi. There is clearly a separation and one feels suffocated."
