In his resignation letter, he wrote, “I do not see the point in elaborating extensively on all the particular proceedings that led to my ultimate and irrevocable disaffection. Suffice it to say, that the manner in which the Congress party has conducted its affairs and taken decisions, specifically with regards to Punjab, has been disheartening to say the least.”
He further added that, "The coterie of men entrusted with the authority to dictate Delhi's writ to the Punjab unit of the Congress are far from sound."
