Uttar Pradesh Congress vice-president and former MLA Lalitesh Pati Tripathi on Thursday announced that he had resigned from the party but remained tight-lipped on his next step. Mr. Tripathi is the great grandson of former U.P. Chief Minister Kamlapati Tripathi. Addressing journalists, Mr. Tripathi said he resigned from all posts of the Congress as well as his primary membership. He said he felt he had “lost the right” to continue in the posts.
His departure from the Congress comes as another blow to the party as it faces a daunting task of improving its present seat tally of seven in the upcoming 2022 Assembly election. U.P. has 403 seats.
