Nagpur: Expressing his disapproval over the move of fielding Uttar Pradesh-based Imran Pratapgarhi for Rajya Sabha polls from Maharashtra, senior Congress leader Dr Ashish Deshmukh on Tuesday resigned from his post of General Secretary of Maharashtra Pradesh Congress Committee (MPCC).
In his resignation letter addressed to Congress Chief Sonia Gandhi, Deshmukh wrote, “Respected Madam, due to imposition of Imran Pratapgarhi (from UP) in Maharashtra for Rajya Sabha, I am resigning from the post of General Secretary of the Maharashtra Pradesh Congress Committee. Imposing an outside candidate will not benefit the party in terms of growth. This is the injustice done to the general Congress workers in Maharashtra. I will continue to work with the Congress Party as its loyal worker and fulfil commitments.”
