Gujjar's resignation from working prez post accepted: Hry Cong chief
Karnal, April 10 -- Haryana Congress state president Rao Narender Singh on Thursday said that resigntaion of Ram Kishan Gujjar, who had resigned from the post of working president, has been accepted. Gujjar resigned from his post following allegations of cross-voting in last month's Rajya Sabha polls against his wife and two-time Naraingarh MLA Shalley Chaudhary.

This comes weeks after party leader Ram Kishan Gujjar resigned from the post of the working president, following the allegations of cross-voting. During a press conference with Hooda in Naraingarh, when Rao was questioned about the resignation, he said, "When I received a copy of the resignation letter, I called him to confirm if it was legitimate.

On being asked about filing the post again, he said, "There has been no such post since I was appointed as the Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC) chief.
