Ahead of Rahul Gandhi's MP visit, Meenakshi Natarajan quits Congress panel

May 24, 2018 20:28

Congress leader and former MP Meenakshi Natarajan has resigned from Madhya Pradesh Congresss manifesto committee, apparently peeved by the induction of her bete noire Rajendra Singh Gautam into a party panel.

The development comes ahead of Congress president Rahul Gandhis visit to Mandsaur district of the state on June 6 to mark the first anniversary of the death of six farmers in police firing.

State Congress chief Kamal Nath on Thursday sought to downplay the issue, saying he had spoken to Natarajan and a solution will be found.

Natarajan, former Mandsaur MP and a close confidante of Congress president Rahul Gandhi, quit the party manifesto committee on Wednesday, sources close to her said.

When asked whether she had withdrawn the resignation, she said on Thursday, I would not make any public statement on the partys internal issues. I do not talk about partys issues outside.

I am preparing for Rahul jis visit right now, she said.
