New Delhi: After the massive defeat in Lok Sabha election, Congress President Rahul Gandhi took the responsibility and decided to resign from the president post. In a bid to persuade Congress chief Rahul Gandhi to take back his offer to step down in the wake of the party’s debacle in the Lok Sabha Elections 2019, a party leader from Uttar Pradesh has written a letter in blood.

Shailendra Tewari, Uttar Pradesh Congress secretary, in the letter, urged Gandhi to continue to be their leader. He wrote, “Main aapko vishwas dilata hun ki sharir ka eke k katra, khoon ki ek boond Congress ko banane mein laga denge. Humein Rajiv ji ki shahadat ki kasam hai.”
