A former Odisha MLA has criticized Congress leadership, highlighting the gap between leaders and grassroots workers. He suggests that leaders like Priyanka Gandhi should play a central role to connect with India's youth. His letter highlights disconnection issues, impacting the party's performance and membership morale.

In an incisive letter to Congress leader Sonia Gandhi, former MLA Mohammed Moquim has criticized the leadership style of the party, highlighting a growing detachment between Congress leadership and grassroots workers.
