Of these five leaders, while Azad snapped decades-old ties with the Congress, Reddy, Antony, Scindia and Sarma jumped ship to the BJP.
Surpiya Shrinate’s reply comes in this context and made a reference to the Assam CM Sarma’s account of his meeting with Rahul Gandhi before he resigned from the Congress.
Before quitting the Congress party in August 2015, Sarma had a meeting with Rahul Gandhi in New Delhi.
Recalling the meeting, Sarma later said biscuits from the same plate were given to the dog and were presented to the congress leaders.
Some Congress leaders at the meeting ate biscuits from the same plate from where Rahul Gandhi’s dog Pidi was also eating biscuits, Sarma had said.
Rahul Gandhi was playing with his dog without listening to the leaders.
