Ex-MLAs of Congress Resign from Party Blaming Alliance With AAP in Delhi

New Delhi: The tussle in the Delhi unit of the Congress intensified as two former Congress MLAs, Neeraj Basoya and Naseeb Singh resigned from the party a few days after Arvinder Singh Lovely resigned from the post of Delhi Congress chief.

In their letters to Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge, the two former MLAs named the Congress and AAP alliance as the reason behind their resignation.

In his letter, Basoya wrote, “I humbly submit, that the said alliance is bringing great disrepute and embarrassment to Delhi Congress workers on a daily basis and I believe, that as a self-respecting party leader, I cannot continue to be associated with the party any more.”

Lovely also resigned from his post citing the alliance with AAP as one of the reasons.

Former MLA Devender Yadav was appointed as the interim president of Delhi unit of the Congress on Tuesday. He is currently the AICC in-charge of Punjab.
