Haryana Congress MLA Kuldeep Bishnoi Resigns, Set To Join BJP

Mumbai: Congress leader and Haryana MLA from Adampur constituency Kuldeep Bishnoi on Wednesday handed his resignation letter to the state Assembly Speaker.

Bishnoi submitted his resignation to Assembly Speaker Gyanchand Gupta here.

His resignation would require a by-election from the Adampur seat in the Hisar district, which Bishnoi is currently representing.

Bishnoi, 53, was from all party positions by the Congress soon after cross-voting in the Rajya Sabha elections in June.

The four-time MLA and two-time MP was already going through a period of outrage and the party raised the flag of rebellion after he was ignored for the post of its Haryana unit chief during a reform earlier this year.

For the younger son of former Haryana chief minister Bhajan Lal, it will be the second parting with the Congress, nearly six years after he had returned to the fold.
