Congress leader and a former MLA from Nagod constituency of Madhya Pradesh's Satna, Yadvendra Singh, resigned from the party on Sunday, after being denied a ticket for the upcoming assembly elections in the State. He also attacked former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister and senior Congress leader Kamal Nath, stating that he would teach him a lesson.
"I was the right hand of the Congress party. I served the party for so long, and this has been done to me; that is why I have resigned from the party and joined Bahujan Samaj Party... I will teach Kamal Nath a lesson," Mr. Singh said while speaking to ANI. "Right now, I cannot say how many seats I would make him lose, but I will definitely do something to this effect," he added.
Earlier on Sunday, Congress released the first list of 144 candidates for the upcoming Madhya Pradesh Assembly elections, fielding State unit president and former Chief Minister Kamal Nath from Chhindwara. The party has roped in Rashmi Singh Patel to contest the poll on its ticket from the Nagod seat.
