The resignation comes two days after another top Congress leader, Sunil Jakhar, who is has served as the party's Punjab unit chief also resigned in similar manner.

Before quitting, Patel (28), who had joined the Congress in 2019, wrote a scathing letter to party chief Sonia Gandhi, claiming the Congress "only played to the role of a roadblock" over certain key issues in the country and was "merely reduced to opposing everything".

Without taking any name, he said in the letter that whenever he raised issues of the people of Gujarat, senior Congress leaders were busy checking messages on their mobile phones, and some leaders were ?enjoying abroad? when the party and the country needed them.

Patel had since sometime been critical of the Congress and recently praised the BJP.
