2 Delhi Congress leaders quit party, cite AAP alliance
Congress party in Delhi got another setback as two of its leaders and observers for two Lok Sabha seats, Neeraj Basoya and Naseeb Singh tendered their resignation from the party.
In separate letters written to Congress party president Mallikarjun Kharge, Neeraj Basoya, and Naseeb Singh blamed the Congress’ AAP alliance for their quitting the parties.
Delhi will go to Lok Sabha polls on May 25.
Neeraj Basoya was MLA and party observer for the West Delhi Parliamentary Seat and Naseeb Singh, was MLA and party observer for North West Delhi.
Naseeb Singh expressed his anguish over the appointment of Davinder Yadav as the Delhi Congress chief.
He said in his letter, “Davinder Yadav has up till now run a campaign in Punjab solely based on attacking Arvind Kejriwal’s false agenda and today, he in Delhi will be mandated to praise and support AAP and its CM Arvind Kejriwal.”
Neeraj Basoya said in his letter, “I am addressing the present communication to you, being aggrieved by the alliance of the party with the AAP in Delhi. I have humbly submitted 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 be associated with the party anymore.”
“I hereby tender my resignation from all Party Posts and the primary membership of the Party. I thank Smt Sonia Gandhi Ji for giving a common man like me, all the opportunities in the last 30 years,” said Basoya in the letter dated May 1.
Earlier, Congress got a major jolt after veteran leader Arvind Singh Lovely resigned as Delhi unit chief, over strong differences with the Central leadership.
