"Not Joining Another Party": Congress Leader On Quitting Delhi Unit PostArvinder Singh Lovely, who stepped down from the post of the Delhi Congress chief earlier today, has clarified today that he is not joining any party. Mr Lovely said he has not resigned the primary membership of the Congress and only stepped down from the post as a mark of protest against the tie-up with Arvind Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party.
In a letter to Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge, Mr Lovely had pointed to the jailing of several AAP ministers in connection to corruption cases. Still, the Congress formed an alliance with Arvind Kejriwal's party for the Lok Sabha elections. Unable to protect the interests of the Delhi Congress workers, he was resigning from the post, he added.
