"I have resigned as the MLA, as the member of the Congress Working Committee (CWC), and as the member of the Congress party. While I was in the Congress, I worked with full honesty. I don't want to complain about anybody. I have no personal issues with anyone. As long as I was there, I worked with honesty. I have not decided on the future course of action yet. I will reveal my political decision in the next two days," he said while addressing the media.
