In his resignation letter, Vallabh expressed his concern over the Congress party’s deteriorating ground-level organization, which he believes fails to align with the aspirations of New India. He lamented that the party’s inability to understand these aspirations has led to its failure to secure power or effectively function as an opposition. Vallabh emphasized the need for bridging the gap between senior leaders and grassroots workers, which he sees as crucial for political success.
According to a Congress spokesperson, the absence of direct communication channels between workers and leaders hampers the possibility of implementing positive changes within the party.

Vallabh criticized the party’s current direction, citing its contradictory stance on issues like caste-based census and its perceived bias against the entire Hindu society. He argued that such an approach undermines the party’s credibility and sends a misleading message to the public, suggesting favoritism towards a specific religious group. This, he believes, contradicts the core principles of the Congress party.
