Mahila Congress chief Susmita Dev resigns from party; another jolt to Congress

Описание: In yet another jolt to Congress, former MP and Mahila Congress chief Sushmita Dev has reportedly resigned from the party, sources said on Monday.
Party sources said that she has sent her resignation to Congress Interim President Sonia Gandhi.
Meanwhile, party leaders remained tight-lipped on the recent developments.
The resignation comes two days after Dev met Sonia Gandhi and former party chief Rahul Gandhi along with the newly appointed Assam Congress team in the national capital.
Dev is daughter of former Union Minister late Santosh Mohan Dev.
Ahead of the Assam assembly polls, there were rumors that she is quitting the party. However, she rejected the charges of leaving the party then.
In last few days, Assam Congress has been witnessing desertions.
"Sushmita Dev Resigns from primary membership of our Party. While young leaders leave we ‘oldies’ are blamed for our efforts to strengthen it. The Party moves on with: Eyes Wide Shut” Congress leader and Rajyasabha MP Kapil Sibal tweeted after Sushmita’s resignation.
