Senior Congress leader Ambika Soni quits from party post

Ambika Soni is considered one of the most seasoned, capable and experienced leaders of the Congress party and the party will always try to utilize her acumen coupled with her years of experience. The Congress party had also lost the Shimla Municipal Corporation elections earlier this year.

She was re-elected to Rajya Sabha in July 2010. This comes just after party veteran Shankersinh Vaghela said he was sacked by the party 24 hours back. She does plan to remain as an MP for the Congress, however. She has been the head of the All India Mahila Congress and chief of the All India Congress Committee. Soni’s resignation does not bode well for the Congress Party as the state of Himachal Pradesh will be going to poll later this year.

“I had myself asked the party leadership to lighten my duties in the party due to my health”, she said, adding that she will continue to fulfil the responsibilities till new appointments are made. News wire agency ANI quoted Soni as saying, “I have requested the party leadership to relieve me as the in-charge of Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh”.

The Congress party has denied reports that its senior party leader Ambika Soni has resigned.

Party’s chief spokesperson Randeep Surjewala said, “We strongly reject insinuations being planted by our adversaries regarding her resignation”.
