Assam legislator Bharat Chandra Narah resigned from Congress on March 25 after his wife, a former MP, was denied a ticket for the Lok Sabha election on April 19.
His one-line resignation letter addressed to Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge read: “I do hereby resign from the Indian National Congress with immediate effect.”
Mr. Narah quit as the chairman of the party’s State media cell on Sunday, 24 hours after the All India Congress Committee (AICC) nominated Uday Shankar Hazarika as the party’s candidate for the Lakhimpur Lok Sabha seat.
