Vikramaditya Singh, the son of former Governor Karan Singh, quit the Congress on Tuesday, saying the party is "disconnected with ground realities". In a resignation posted on Twitter, the former Jammu and Kashmir legislative council member (MLC) said his position on critical issues "do not align" with that of the Congress. In the letter, he said: "It is my belief that the Congress is unable to realise and reflect the sentiments and aspirations of the people of Jammu and Kashmir."
I hereby tender my resignation from the Indian National Congress.

My position on critical issues vis-à-vis Jammu & Kashmir which reflect national interests do not align with that of the Congress Party. @INCIndia remains disconnected with ground realities. @INCJammuKashmir pic.twitter.com/g5cACgNf9y
Singh, the grandson of former royal Hari Singh, joined the Congress in 2018 and contested the 2019 national election from Uddhampur in Jammu and Kashmir. Before the Congress, he had been in Mehbooba Mufti's People's Democratic Party (PDP). The Congress has seen a series of exits in recent years, alongside its defeats in election after election.This year, the party lost former Union Ministers Ashwani Kumar, RPN Singh and Shatrughan Sinha.
