New Delhi: Jayanthi Natarajan quit the Congress on Friday, after a letter written by her to party president Sonia Gandhi on November 5, 2014 was published in the media. Jayanthi, in the letter, accused Rahul Gandhi of interference while she was environment minister in the Manmohan Singh government.

Here are the live updates:

BJP leader Subramanian Swamy says a case could be registered against Rahul Gandhi based on the allegations levelled against him in Jayanthi Natarajan's letter.
If Rahul ever wanted to interfere in the government's functioning, he could himself have become the minister or the prime minister - Digvijay
It is absolutely wrong to say that either Mr Rahul Gandhi or Mrs Sonia Gandhi ever interfered with the functioning of the government, says Congress leader Digvijay Singh in response to Jayanthi Natarajan's allegations.
Don't know how many times I asked for an appointment with the high command? I didn't get one ever. When I am feeling miserable, what do I do? asks Jayanthi
Why was I removed as minister 100 days before Lok Sabha elections? I still have no answer to it - Jayanthi
When my own party has cheated me so badly, why should I blame Mr Modi. In fact, I had attacked him strongly.
I am not accusing anybody of corruption; if PM Modi has spoken of 'Jayanthi tax' let them investigate. I welcome any probe - Jayanthi
I refute allegations that I am being blackmailed to say all this ahead of the Delhi Assembly elections. I have no connections with any corporate - Jayanthi
After (leaving) Congress, I plan to think about my life. I have absolutely no plans to join any party - Jayanthi
I only did what I was asked to do by the party; I did not do anything wrong - Jayanthi
Today I announce my resignation from the primary membership of the Congress as well as trustee of the Tamil Nadu Congress – Jayanthi
I have nowhere said that there was interference from the party leadership. What I have said is that there were specific instructions - Jayanthi
I have done no wrong; if anyone can prove this I am willing to be hanged, to go to jail - Jayanthi
I have no issues with the state Congress at all; I was sidelined by the national high command - Jayanthi
I have no idea why I was removed as Congress spokesperson - Jayanthi
I wrote a passionate email to Rahul Gandhi after his FICCI speech asking, “I want to know why you did this”. To which he replied, “I’m a little busy right now, I will call you later”, but he never called - Jayanthi
Rahul had stopped me from issuing environmental clearances to several projects. However, after I resigned he himself told a FICCI conference that environmental clearances would be made easy now – Jayanthi
At the time I resigned, the then PM had praised my work; no wrongdoing was ever pointed out - Jayanthi
I said I wasn't happy because he (Modi) should be attacked on policy matters but not on snoopgate. But still, I was deputed to attack him - Jayanti
