Urmila Matondkar quits Congress; cites ‘petty in-house politics’ as the reason

Earlier in March this year, actress Urmila Matondkar had joined Indian National Congress party. Now just five months after joining the party, the actress has resigned from her post. The ‘Rangeela’ actress has cited ‘petty in-house politics’ as one of the reasons for quitting the party.

In a statement to ANI, talking about her decision, the actress said, “My political and social sensibilities refuse to allow vested interests in the party to use me as a mean to fight petty in-house politics instead of working on a bigger goal in Mumbai Congress.”

Here’s a screenshot of her resignation letter

The actress in her statement has also stated that she stands by all (her) thoughts and ideologies and will continue to work for people to the best of her capacity with honesty and dignity.

Urmila had contested the Lok Sabha elections (2019) from Mumbai North Parliamentary constituency, however, she had lost it. Interestingly earlier after joining the party, Urmila had said, “I am here because I believe in the ideology of Congress and what the party stands for. I have not joined the party for the sake of elections.”

So now, the news of the actress quitting the party comes as a surprise to all her fans and followers out there.
