Senior leader Arvinder Singh Lovely announced his resignation from the post of Delhi Congress chief on Sunday.
Citing the alliance with the Aam Aadmi Party as one of the reasons, Lovely clarified that his resignation does not imply leaving the party altogether, but rather stepping down from his leadership role.
Addressing the media following his resignation, Lovely expressed gratitude to Congress workers and senior leaders for their support. He emphasized that his decision stemmed from principles and concerns voiced by Congress workers, rather than a lack of electoral ticket.
He said, ‘The reason for the resignation is not because I didn’t get the ticket. Thus was because of the principles’. Despite his resignation from the Delhi unit chief position, Lovely affirmed that he has no intention of joining any other political party.
‘I have resigned from the post of President of Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee. I have not resigned from Congress. I will continue to meet with party workers. My resignation is not for myself but for the Congress workers’, he said.
Arvinder Singh Lovely’s resignation comes shortly after the resignation of former Delhi minister and AICC member Rajkumar Chauhan following a disagreement with Babria.
The resignation comes at a crucial juncture for the Congress party, just ahead of the Lok Sabha polls.
