#JayanthiNatarajan: In a major blow to the beleaguered Congress, former Union Environment Minister Jayanthi Natarajan quit the party on Friday citing political interference and a vilification campaign against her by Congress members.


In an explosive letter to Congress President Sonia Gandhi, Natarajan stated that she received “specific requests” from Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi on environmental clearances and she consequently rejected big-ticket projects despite pressure from Cabinet colleagues seeking approval.

Natarajan has also mentioned that persons from the office of Rahul Gandhi were calling the media and planting stories that her resignation was not for party work.
