Congress rout in Delhi Poll: Maken and Arvinder resign on moral ground

10 Feb, New Delhi

Congress’s disastrous performance in the Delhi poll has led the Chief Ministerial candidate and AICC General Secretary ,Aajay Maken and the state party Chief Arvinder Singh Lovely to resign from their respective organizational posts Tuesday.
Congress drew a blank and failed to win even one out of the 70 seats of Delhi Assembly. Maken himself has lost the election by 30,000 votes.
As the results indicated landslide victory for AAP , Congress leader Ajay Maken took moral responsibility for his party’s dismal show in the Delhi Assembly polls and tendered his resignation as the AICC general secretary.
Maken also congratulated Arvind Kejriwal for the Aam Aadmi Party’s victory in the elections.
“I have decided to tender my resignation from post of AICC general secretary as a moral responsibility,” Maken told mediapersons here.
“I hope Kejriwal will fulfil the promises he has made to the people,” he added.
Taking the cue ,Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee chief Arvinder Singh Lovely has reportedly tendered his resignation to Congress President Sonia Gandhi after the party’s disastrous performance in the assembly elections.
