Ajay Maken resigns as Delhi Congress chief, reason unknown

New Delhi : Senior political leader Ajay Maken has resigned as the Delhi Congress chief on Friday. 

Sharing the news on Twitter, he expressed gratitude towards the party and president Rahul Gandhi for immense love and support.

"Post 2015 Delhi Legislative Assembly elections, as @INCDelhi president, I got immense respect and cooperation from my fellow party workers, the media who provided coverage to the party and our party president @RahulGandhi ji. It was not easy in these difficult situations. I thank all from the deep of my heart," Maken tweeted in Hindi.

From past couple of months, there have been reports claiming that Ajay Maken's resignation is on the cards; but the Congress refuted the claims every time.

In September last year, the Congress had rejected reports claiming Ajay Maken's resignation saying that he is on a medical leave for check-up.
