He was in the Congress for more than 40 years and was considered close to the Gandhi family. He was very upset that the invitation to inaugurate the Ram Mandir was rejected by the Congress. He said that when the Supreme Court gave its verdict for the construction of the Ram temple and this decision of the Supreme Court was welcomed by the Congress, then why did the Congress reject the invitation to inaugurate the Ram temple.

In terms of Madhya Pradesh politics, after almost four years, the Congress has again received a big blow. Earlier, Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia left the Congress party in 2020 with 22 MLAs and now Suresh Pachauri has left Congress in 2024.
Suresh Pachauri was considered close to the Gandhi family and a pillar of the Congress, but he was gradually sidelined in state politics. Ever since the Congress had rejected the invitation to the Ramlala Prana Pratishtha ceremony at the Ram Mandir, he was very upset.
Suresh Pachauri has been a powerful Congress leader in state politics. At some point there used to be four factions in the state of Suresh Pachauri, Digvijay Singh, Jyotiraditya Scindia and Kamal Nath.
