Former Union minister and Congress leader RPN Singh who joined the Bharatiya Janata Party in Delhi, ahead of the Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections, said, "I spent 32 years in one political party (Congress). I had clearly said in my press conference that the party is no more the one where I had worked; it is not the same ideology anymore. I would not like to add anything further to it. I will work as a 'Karyakarta' towards fulfilling PM Modi's dreams for India."

Responding to speculations of his wife, NDTV journalist Sonia Singh and him contesting the Uttar Pradesh elections, Singh said, "I am the only one in politics. I will definitely do what the party asks me to."

RPN Singh on Tuesday quit the Congress posted his resignation letter addressed to Sonia Gandhi on Twitter, "Today, at a time, we are celebrating the formation of our great Republic, I begin a new chapter in my political journey. Jai Hind."

Notably, prior to the resignation, Singh had also changed his Twitter Bio from: My motto India, First, Always. AICC in-charge, Jharkhand, Spokesperson Congress party, Former Minister of State for Home Affairs, to "My motto India, First, Always."
