Less than 24 hours after quitting the Congress party over the alleged ‘injustice’ meted out to her, Radhika Khera, a former spokesperson of the party, on Monday targeted party leader Rahul Gandhi, saying that his Nyay Yatra was “for namesake”.
Khera even alleged that neither Rahul Gandhi nor Priyanka Gandhi met her in the last three years despite her repeated attempts to meet them.

“I have been asking for time for three years from Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, but none of them met me. I was always sent from one office to the other,” Khera told news agency ANI.
Further alleging that Rahul Gandhi did not meet anyone during his Nyay Yatra, Khera said, ” It was for namesake. I think he just wants to become a travel vlogger and he was doing travel vlogging there.”
“He used to come and wave at people for five minutes and go back to his trailer,” Khera said.
Khera also took a swipe at Priyanka Gandhi saying, “She says ‘Ladki hoon lad sakti hoon, but ‘Ladki ho toh pitogi‘, is the slogan of Congress.”

On Sunday, posting a copy of her resignation letter on ‘X’, formerly Twitter, Khera, who was AICC’s communication and media coordinator for Chhattisgarh, said, “Today, with great pain, I am renouncing the primary membership of the party and resigning from my post. Yes I am a girl and I can fight, and that is what I am doing now. I will continue to fight for justice for myself and my countrymen.”
Earlier this week, Arvinder Singh Lovely resigned from the post of Congress Delhi unit chief and joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Following that, two former party MLAs, Neeraj Basoya and Naseeb Singh, also quit the grand old party.
