Former Pataudi MLA Rambir Singh quits Congress

Former Pataudi MLA and former chairman of Haryana Education Board Rambir Singh resigned from the priority membership of the Congress party on Saturday. Singh accused the Congress of nepotism while announcing his resignation in a press conference today at his residence in Pataudi.

He claimed that there was no possibility of the Congress returning to power in the country and the state in the next 10 years. He said he would contest the Municipal Council elections as an Independent candidate. He said being a local, he had knowledge of every problem of the area and he could get any development work done better than any other candidate. He described Nayab Singh Saini as a good Chief Minister.

He said that there was extreme factionalism in the Congress party. He alleged that MP Deependra Hooda had caused the biggest loss to the party.

“He kept deceiving all ticket candidates in the Assembly elections. First, the name of the son-in-law of the state Congress president was put forward. Then he left the local candidate and gave the ticket to a daughter-in-law from Bihar. Due to these reasons, the Congress suffered a defeat in Pataudi. Now, the niece of the state Congress president is being given a ticket in the municipal council elections,” said Rambir Singh.
