Haryana Congress leader Ajay Yadav resigns from party

Five-time MLA and former Haryana minister Ajay Singh Yadav resigned from the Congress on Thursday, days after the party lost the state elections to the Bharatiya Janata Party.

Yadav said he was “disillusioned with the party high command for treating me shabbily after Sonia Gandhi left the post of Congress President”. Gandhi quit the post in 2017, returning to it briefly in 2019.

“I have sent my resignation letter to Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge’s ji from Chairman Committee AICC [All India Congress Committee], OBC [Other Backward Class] Department and also from the primary membership of Indian National Congress Party,” Yadav said in a post on X.
