Scindia tenders resignation to party president Sonia Gandhi

New Delhi: In a major jolt to the Congress party, Jyotiraditya Scindia tendered his resignation to party president Sonia Gandhi in Delhi, moments after meeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the national capital.

Earlier in the day, Scindia first met Union Home Minister Amit Shah, and then the two leaders met Modi at the prime minister’s residence.

Meanwhile, 14 MLAs of the Congress in Madhya Pradesh who are loyal to Jyotiraditya Scindia have sent their resignations to state Governor on Tuesday, Raj Bhawan sources said.

“We have received resignations of 14 MLAs through two e-mails with attachments,” a Raj Bhawan official told PTI.

Further details are awaited.
