Also, his expertise in strategic planning and grassroots mobilization was instrumental in shaping the Congress partys electoral strategies in the state.

Modhwadias departure from the Congress was precipitated by his resignation earlier this week, citing dissatisfaction with the partys stance on the Pran Pratishtha ceremony at Ayodhya.

He admired Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah, comparing them to revered figures such as Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel and Mahatma Gandhi.

Modhwadias criticism of Congress disconnect with the public underpins his decision to join the BJP, which he views as a platform to contribute to Prime Minister Modis vision of a developed India.

His letter to Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge highlighted his frustrations with the party, notably accusing it of losing touch with the populace and criticizing Rahul Gandhi for his role in the Ayodhya event controversy.

Reflecting on his over four-decade-long association with Congress, Modhwadia described his departure as a difficult but necessary decision made in pursuit of aligning with the peoples aspirations, especially regarding the construction of the Ram Temple.
