They have not resigned from the Congress Party, but only from the additional responsibilities of the Assam Congress Party office. To participate in an election campaign, any MLA or leader had to resign from any other duties of the party office, according to the Congress party’s rules.
On the other hand, Mallikarjun Kharge, who visited Hyderabad and Vijayawada on Saturday to meet with members of the Pradesh Congress Committee and party workers, stated that if elected as president of the All India Congress Committee, he would implement the proposal of 50% seats for those under the age of 50.
