Jayanthi Natarajan, former Environment Minister, has quit the Congress with a scathing attack on vice-president Rahul Gandhi, alleging that after instructing her to protect the environment, he publicly criticised her decisions before the election last year in an attempt to woo industry.

"The main hard line on environment was given by Rahul Gandhi, he could have asked me to move faster if he had concerns," Ms Natarajan said at a press conference in Chennai, where she said she cannot remain in a party that has "an atmosphere of lies and suffocation." She listed in detail the contents of a letter she sent in November to Mr Gandhi's mother, Congress chief Sonia Gandhi; she said the note failed to elicit any response.
