BJP's national spokesperson is Jaiveer Shergill

December 02, 2022 15:13

Three months after walking out of the Congress with scathing remarks against the Gandhis, Jaiveer Shergill was appointed a spokesperson by the BJP on Friday, as it announced new roles for several prominent leaders who have switched over from the grand old party.

Shergill used to be the national spokesperson of the Congress party.

In a letter to party chief Sonia Gandhi, Shergill resigned from the post of its national spokesperson, saying the primary reason was that "the ideology and the vision of the current decision makers of the Congress is no longer in sync with the aspirations of the youth and modern India".

"Furthermore, it pains me to say that decision making is no longer for the interest of the public and the country, rather it is influenced by the self-serving interests of individuals indulging in sycophancy and consistently ignoring ground reality. This is something I cannot morally accept or continue to work with," he wrote.

"However, I shall forever remain indebted for all the opportunities the party has granted me during my association with it," Shergill said.
