Chandigarh: The Congress has suffered a setback in Haryana. Kuldeep Bishnoi, MLA from Adampur constituency has resigned from his post. He has submitted his resignation to the Speaker of the Assembly. Talking to the media after resigning, Kuldeep Bishnoi said that Bhupinder Singh Hooda had challenged me to resign and I accepted his challenge. I challenge him to contest and win from the Adampur constituency. He told his supporters that AAP is requested to reach the BJP head office in Delhi the day before.

According to media reports, Congress MLA Kuldeep Bishnoi on Wednesday resigned from the Haryana Legislative Assembly. He will join the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) tomorrow. Bishnoi (53), the sitting MLA from Adampur, submitted his resignation to the Speaker of the Assembly, Gyan Chand Gupta. After the resignation of Bishnoi, now a by-election will have to be held in Adampur seat of Hisar district. The Congress removed Bishnoi from all party posts after he did 'cross-voting' in the Rajya Sabha elections held in June.

Let us tell you that four-time MLAs and two-time MPs were already angry with the party. He took a rebellious stand after he was not appointed as the chief of the Haryana unit of the Congress earlier this year. Former Haryana Chief Minister Bhajan Lal's younger son Kuldeep Bishnoi is breaking ties with Congress for the second time. He joined the Congress again about six years ago after parting ways with the party.
