Rajkumar Chauhan quits Congress

Chauhan, a four-time MLA from Mangolpuri who served in the Delhi Cabinet under Sheila Dikshit three times, submitted his resignation to Delhi Congress chief Arvinder Singh Lovely.

“Deepak Babaria called a meeting in his office on April 21 and around 25 senior functionaries from the North West Delhi constituency were present. While I was putting forth my views, Babaria ji asked me to get out five times. Due to this, I have submitted my resignation. They have fielded a candidate who has been involved in controversies. He has got a Congress ticket but is not going to win.

I have been working for Congress for 50 years; my father and grandfather were also with Congress, but I was asked to get out. I cannot tolerate so much humiliation, and that is why I have resigned,” Chauhan told HT.
