Last updated Jun 29, 2019

NPnews24 online: After lost to BJP’s Nitin Gadkari from Nagpur seat, Congress Nana Patole in a tweet on Saturday wrote, he was resigning as the chairman of the kisan Congress and “dismissing” the unit.

In a recent debacle, Nana Patole joined a group of congress office-bearers to quit from the party post.

A string of congress leaders from various states have tendered their resignation in a bid to give a “free hand” to Gandhi to restructure the party.

Congress president himself had announced his decision to quit after the poll debacle but the Congress Working Committee (CWC) wants him to stay on.

कांग्रेस अध्यक्ष के रूप में अपना इस्तीफा वापस ना लेने के लिए @RahulGandhi जी का दृढ़ निर्णय है।
हार हमारी सामूहिक जिम्मेदारी है,इसलिए मैं किसान कॉंग्रेस राष्ट्रीय अध्यक्ष पदसे इस्तीफा दे रहाओर किसान कॉंग्रेस बॉडीको बरखास्त कर रहा हूं।हम देशहित में राहुल जी,कॉंग्रेस के साथ खडे है। pic.twitter.com/CK6D139cjo

Gandhi had reportedly expressed his disgust over some leaders of the party clinging to their positions even after the electoral defeat.
