ABOUT 140 MORE CONGRESS LEADERS RESIGNED FROM THEIR POST
The stream of resignation began after MP Vivek Tankha quit as the chairman of the party’s legal and human rights cell and urged others to follow suit to give a free hand to Rahul Gandhi to restructure the party at all levels. Party general secretary in charge of Madhya Pradesh Dipak Babaria and Goa unit chief Girish Chodankar, Delhi PCC’s working president Rajesh Lilothia and Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee working president Ponnam Prabhakar also quit. A common letter of resignation was being circulated on social media with the names and signatures of certain Congressmen, including those of Haryana Mahila Congress chief Sumitra Chauhan and All India Congress Committee (AICC) secretaries Rajesh Dharmani and Virender Rathore. However, there was no official word from the party about the letter.

Young leaders stand by Rahul’s decision while the older lot believes mass resignation will lead the party to anarchy especially when the assembly elections are staring in the face.
