2 Uttar Pradesh Congress leaders resign from party, say loyal members being neglected

Shailendra Singh, a nominated member of the AICC, said he had informed Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi about the situation in the party many times, but she did not take any step

Two senior All India Congress Committee (AICC) members from Uttar Pradesh have resigned from the party's primary membership, alleging that old and loyal Congress leaders are being neglected. Shailendra Singh and Rajesh Singh sent their resignation letters to the party’s Uttar Pradesh unit president Ajay Kumar Lallu on Sunday. The two leaders said they had informed Congress president Sonia Gandhi as well as Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi about their decision. Targeting the Uttar Pradesh Congress Committee (UPCC) president, Shailendra Singh told journalists on Monday that loyal and old time Congresspersons have been neglected since Mr. Lallu took over and this is why dedicated leaders are quitting the party.
