Yadav confirmed his resignation.
Yadav, a five time MLA who was a minister under former chief ministers Bhupinder Hooda and Bhajan Lal, was among 10 leaders of the party from Haryana invited for a meeting called by Nath on July 27 to stop infighting in the party.
However, he was told to stay away from the meeting at the last minute.
