No, Ajay Maken has not resigned as Cong's Delhi chief

September 18, 2018 11:24

The Congress has denied reports of Ajay Maken's resignation as the Delhi party president saying that he is on leave for a health check-up and will be back within a week.

Reacting to reports of Maken's resignation, the party's Delhi in-charge PC Chacko told ANI, "The fact is that he has some health problem and he has gone for a check-up. Nothing beyond that, he will be back next week."

Chacko further added that Maken has been worried over not being able to give time to the party. "Probably he is little worried that he cannot devote his full time or travel the way he wants. That problem he shared with me in past. However, he is doing fine and Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee is also doing well. On his return from his medical check-up, we will discuss the working arrangement and all other things. He has not resigned," he said.
