Manish Khanduri — son of veteran BJP leader and former Uttarakhand Chief Minister Retd Major General Bhuwan Chandra Khanduri — resigned from the primary membership of Congress on March 8.
Mr. Khanduri had joined the Congress before the 2019 Lok Sabha election. Party sources say that he has now quit as the party is unlikely to give him a ticket for the upcoming general election from his desired constituency.
“I am resigning from primary membership of the Indian National Congress, and all associated positions. I have taken this decision without anticipation or expectation of any personal gain,” Mr. Khanduri said, announcing his decision in a Facebook post.
