===Later career===
In February 2008, Singh announced that he had quit the Congress at a BJP-sponsored rally of the [[Jat people|Jat community]] held at [[Jaipur]] in the presence of [[Vasundhara Raje]], then [[Chief Minister]] of [[Rajasthan]]. On this occasion, Singh not only asserted his innocence but also launched an attack on Sonia Gandhi for having failed to defend or support him.<ref>{{cite web|title=Home " Nation Natwar Singh quits Congress|url=http://www.zeenews.com/news424175.html|publisher=Zee News|access-date=30 May 2011|date=13 February 2008}}</ref>

In fact, Singh had been demanding a Rajya Sabha seat (which had apparently been promised before he joined the party) and Mayawati had changed her mind on that matter.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Mayawati has no courtesy: Natwar Singh|url=https://www.outlookindia.com/newswire/story/mayawati-has-no-courtesy-natwar-singh/635247|access-date=26 December 2021|website=www.outlookindia.com/|archive-date=26 December 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211226135559/https://www.outlookindia.com/newswire/story/mayawati-has-no-courtesy-natwar-singh/635247|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last1=Singh |first1=K.
