UP Raebareli Sadar MLA Aditi Singh resigns from Congress. In her resignation letter, she said, "I have to inform you that I am resigning from the primary membership of the Indian National Congress Party. Please kindly accept."
A day earlier, Congress's 'Ladki hoon, lad sakti hoon' campaign face Priyanka Maurya also quit Congress. Congress Maurya levelled several allegations against Congress after the party denied her ticket for assembly polls.
Maurya said, "I have been betrayed. We were told that there will be screening, observation, and survey to select candidates for polls. But even after completing all tasks, I was not given the ticket. People kept me telling me that this ticket (170 Sarojini Nagar) is reserved for Rudra Daman Singh. I knew it, but I was still fighting for it. I was asked to bring girls for marathons, people in addresses and meetings, induct workers to Congress. I did a lot of work for it."
