NEW DELHI: The crisis in Congress deepened further on Saturday as some more party leaders tendered their resignations to Rahul Gandhi, who stands firm on his decision to not continue as party president owing moral responsibility for his party’s humiliating defeat in the 2019 Lok Sabha election.
According to reports, Akhil Bharti Kishan Congress president Nana Patole and AICC secretary Tarun Kumar submitted their resignations from their party posts on Saturday.
“I have given my resignation from Akhil Bharti Kishan Congress to support Rahul Gandhi. I will work as a soldier of Congress now,” Patole told reporters here.
Meanwhile, Tarun Kumar, who was Rajasthan co-in-charge when the party registered a victory in state assembly polls, also submitted his resignation to the Congress president today.
“You took the responsibility for the party`s defeat and resigned from the post of president AICC. In my opinion, we are equally responsible for the party`s defeat and me being Co-incharge of Rajasthan takes the responsibility of the party`s performance in the assigned region,” Kumar`s resignation letter read.
