Congress' Randeep Surjewala, in-charge of communications, wished well to party's former spokesperson Priyanka Chaturvedi and said that her "exit was a reflection" on his leadership.
"Every time a party member leaves, it's a matter of pain for us. People look for career progression. We wish all of them well, including Priyanka Chaturvedi."
"I must frankly and on record concede, yes, it's a reflection on my leadership," Surjewala added.
Hours after quitting Congress party as its national spokesperson, Priyanka Chaturvedi on Friday joined Shiv Sena in the presence of party chief Uddhav Thackeray at Matoshree in Mumbai.
She quit the Congress party after nearly a decade.
During the conference, Chaturvedi expressed her slight disappointment for being overlooked for the Lok Sabha seat but insisted that her primary reason for quitting the party was inaction against some party workers who misbehaved with her in the past.
Chaturvedi had joined the Congress in 2010 and was made the party's spokesperson in 2013.
Earlier this week, Chaturvedi had lashed out at Congress in public for reinstating party workers who were accused of misbehaving with her in September 2018.
