Tweets resignation letter sent to outgoing Congress president Rahul Gandhi
Cricketer-turned-politician Navjot Singh Sidhu on Sunday announced his resignation from the Punjab Cabinet, amid an ongoing tussle with Chief Minister Amarinder Singh.
Mr. Sidhu released a copy of his resignation letter on Twitter, which he said was submitted to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on June 10.
In the letter addressed to Mr. Gandhi, Mr. Sidhu did not assign any reason for his quitting the Cabinet. “I hereby resign as Minister from the Punjab Cabinet,” Mr. Sidhu wrote.
In the following tweet, he said, “Will be sending my resignation to the Chief Minister, Punjab.”
After the Cabinet reshuffle on June 6, the Chief Minister divested Mr. Sidhu of the Local Bodies portfolio and allocated him the Power and New and Renewable Energy Sources portfolios.
