Mumbai Congress president Milind Deora on Sunday announced his resignation from the post, stating he is looking forward to play a role at the national front in order to stabilise the party.
While announcing his resignation, Deora proposed a three memeber panel to lead the Mumbai Congress for the upcoming Maharashtra Assembly elections.
A statement issued by his office on Sunday said taking on the BJP-Shiv Sena and negating the impact of Vanchit Aghadi is a challenge for the Congress in Maharashtra. Deora expressed his desire to quit shortly after meeting Congress leader Rahul Gandhi in New Delhi on June 26.
Milind Deora was appointed the president of the Mumbai Congress on the eve of the Lok Sabha polls held earlier this year. He contested the Lok Sabha poll from Mumbai-South constituency, but lost to Shiv Sena’s Arvind Sawant.
In sudden turn of events, Indian Youth Congress president Keshav Chand Yadav also resigned from his post on Saturday July 6. Yadav wrote a letter to Rahul Gandhi taking moral responsibility for the party’s poor performance in the Lok Sabha elections.
