BJP leader and former deputy mayor Manoj Wadhwa on Wednesday resigned from the primary membership of the party.
He tendered his resignation to the party state president and Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini and district president Yogendra Rana.
Sources claim to Wadhwa suggest that he is likely to join the Congress to contest the upcoming Karnal Assembly byelection against BJP candidate and Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini.
