I don't think it was a wise decision at this crucial juncture where Congress is going into an important election," Eden told .

Chacko on Wednesday announced his resignation from the party and said that there "is groupism" practised by top leaders of Congress.

"I have quit Congress and sent my resignation to party's interim chief Sonia Gandhi. I had been deliberating upon this decision for the past many days. I come from Kerala where there's no Congress party as such. There are two parties - Congress (I) and Congress (A). It's a coordination committee of two parties functioning as KPCC," Chacko said.
