Bhubaneswar: Nine-time Congress MP and former Odisha Chief Minister Giridhar Gamang today quit the party alleging humiliation and also appeared to send signals that he was keen on joining BJP.
Announcing his decision at a press conference, he came out with an explanation that his vote did not lead to the fall of Atal Bihari Vajpayee Government in 1999.
"I have sent my resignation letter to AICC president Sonia Gandhi. Since the time of Vajpayee government's fall due to one vote in 1999, I have been humiliated. Though I voted against Vajpayee government in wake of a whip, the party did not come to my rescue at any time," Gamang told reporters. In his letter to Sonia Gandhi, Gamang said, "With a heavy heart and deep agony, I tender my resignation from the primary membership of Congress. Please accept my resignation." The Congress veteran had also been a Union Minister under the Prime Ministership of Indira Gandhi for one year and five years each under Rajiv Gandhi and P V Narasihma Rao.
