Puducherry: Protesting against renomination of Union Minister V Narayanasamy for Lok Sabha poll from Puducherry, leaders of different wings of Congress today threatened to resign from the party.
The leaders also held an emergency meeting here today.
"About 50 functionaries of different wings of the party have decided to resign from all responsibilities and primary memberships to protest against the 'arbitrary and undemocratic manner' in which Narayanasamy's candidature was finalised," Puducherry PCC secretary C Vettriselvane told reporters.
He said Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi was keen to ensure that considerable opportunities were made available for youth to contest the polls. But no applications were invited from those aspiring for the party ticket to fight the poll.
