Congress senior leader and former minister Danam Nagender resigned from the post of President of Greater Hyderabad Congress Committee here on Saturday.
Addressing a press conference at his residence, Nagender said he was resigning from his post owing moral responsibility for Congress party's humiliating defeat in the GHMC elections. He alleged that the Congress party did not assign him the responsibility of all wards in the GHMC. He admitted that internal differences among Congress leaders were causing heavy damage to the party. He said that the party had lost elections primarily due to infighting among Congress leaders.
Stating that he would hand over his resignation letter to TPCC President N. Uttam Kumar Reddy and AICC General Secretary Digvijay Singh on Sunday, Nagender said he had no intentions of leaving the Congress party. He said he would continue to serve the party as an ordinary worker. He said the TRS promise of providing 2BKH housing attracted voters which led to ruling party's thunderous victory.
