NEW DELHI: Former Aam Aadmi Party(AAP) spokesperson Priyanka Kakkar joined the Congress<\/a> on Saturday, saying she could no longer defend the \u201cindefensible\u201d.After joining Congress, Kakkar praised Rahul Gandhi<\/a>, calling him a resilient leader and saying she had seen how he and the party continued to withstand attacks against them.\u201cIf there is one leader who is not afraid to promote his ideas, it is Rahul Gandhi. I observed that he is the only leader who has not shed tears for the cameras. He is the only leader today who has not done that. He is resilient. I have seen how he was humiliated and how an entire machinery was deployed to put him down. But Rahul Gandhi and the Congress remained resilient,\u201d Kakkar said.\u201cTheir authenticity is their soul. I saw that there is a soul in this party as well, which I found missing in other parties. And I say this from lived experience,\u201d she added.Explaining her decision to leave AAP, Kakkar referred to what she described as a shift in the party’s functioning and leadership.\u201cThere was a time when it was said that AAP would not take a bungalow or a car. But later, choppers started being used for private travel, and I could no longer defend the indefensible,\u201d she said.\u201cI drew a line when I saw that the Aam Aadmi Party, which at one point had attracted people with great substance and intelligence, was unable to retain them,\u201d Kakkar added.She also criticised the appointment of people to senior positions in Punjab, saying, \u201cWho are the people being brought in now? New people who have not even worked at the booth level are being brought from Rajasthan and given senior positions in Punjab, along with bungalows and cars.\u201d<\/p>\n
