Congress Khordha district vice-president Pradeep Kumar Sahoo has resigned from his post and primary membership of the party ahead of the panchayat polls in the State.
He tendered his resignation to Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC) president Niranjan Patnaik alleging the ‘party’s negligence’ towards leaders at the organisational level.
“We had been working for the party as disciplined members.
However, the party has been neglecting us at organisational level. I don’t feel myself safe. Therefore, I am quitting the post and party,” Sahoo wrote to Patnaik.
Speaking to media, he said, “The Congress party has been neglecting its leaders. For safety of people who are with me and development of my region, I left the party.”
Sahoo had fought the Assembly polls twice from Begunia on Congress ticket.
