Chandigarh, April 20, 2018: Upset over being "ignored" for Cabinet berth, Punjab Congress MLA from Tanda Urmur constituency has resigned from the posts of AICC membership and vice-president of Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee (PPCC).
He announced his decision to resign from the party posts in a video message and openly said that he was let down by the party's decision of ignoring his claim for ministerial berth.
