India TV NewsNew Delhi: Amid the Lok Sabha elections, the Congress faced a big setback in Delhi as the party's state president, Arvinder Singh Lovely, resigned from his post. Interference from party general secretary in-charge Lovely also alleged that several decisions taken by him as the Delhi Congress Chief were vetoed by the AICC General Secretary. Lovely on alliance with AAP Lovely also highlighted Congress's alliance with the Aam Aadmi Party in Delhi, stating that the entire state unit was against it. "Such ill-thought and factually incorrect statements have not gone down well with the Local Party Unit since, the local party workers had an inherent understanding that the alliance was not done in appreciation of AAP's false propaganda of the development of Delhi and was in fact, a "compromise- to improve the chances of victory for the Party as part of the National Alliance," Lovely said.
