After Milind Deora, now Jyotiraditya Scindia resigns as Congress general secretary
New Delhi, July 7 (IBNS): In a major development in the political paradigm of the Congress party, Jyotiraditya Scindia on Sunday stepped down as the general secretary of the party.
He cited the poor performance of the party in the Lok Sabha polls as the reason behind taking the decision.
Scindia, considered as a major youth leader of the party, announced his resignation after Mumbai unit chief Milind Deora stepped down from his position earlier in the day.
Scindia said he sent his resignation to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi.
Accepting the people’s verdict and taking accountability, I had submitted my resignation as General Secretary of AICC to Shri @RahulGandhi.
