In a revolt against Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda ahead of Assembly elections, Haryana power minister Ajay Yadav resigned today, saying the leadership has ‘failed’ to learn lessons from the Lok Sabha election debacle.
The 55-year-old six-time Congress MLA from Rewari alleged bias in matter of development, recruitment and flayed the controversial induction of members of various Commissions and statutory bodies and ‘domination’ of the bureaucracy.
Yadav said here that he had sent his resignation to Hooda. He, however, said he would continue in Congress till the end and Sonia Gandhi is his leader.
He said the Congress won only one seat in the state in the Lok Sabha elections, but has failed to learn any lessons.
‘Somebody has to bell the cat...and I decided to take the step (resign),’ he said.
Asked about Hooda’s response to his resignation, Yadav said the Chief Minister asked me to reconsider, but he declined.
