"The reason for the resignation is not because I didn't get the ticket...This was because of the principals," Lovely said
In a setback to the Congress ahead of the Lok Sabha polls, senior leader Arvinder Singh Lovely on Sunday resigned from the post of party’s Delhi unit chief, citing the alliance with the AAP as one of the reasons.
Addressing the media after tendering his resignation, Lovely thanked the Congress workers and senior leaders who came to support him and said, “Mentioning the principles and the pain felt by the Congress workers, I have resigned from the post of Delhi Congress chief. I want to thank the Congress workers who came to meet me.”
He also clarified that he has not resigned from the party, but just from his post as Delhi Congress chief and said he is not joining any other party.
“The reason for the resignation is not because I didn’t get the ticket…This was because of the principals,” he added.
