Rourkela: Tribal leader and former MLA, George Tirkey resigned from the primary membership of the Congress party on Sunday.
In his resignation letter to the OPCC chief, Tirkey cited that the Congress party is going to lose its significance in the Rourkela organizational district.
Earlier, as the President of the Rourkela District Congress, he put in all kinds of efforts to strengthen the party organization at the grassroots. However, he failed to succeed due to the non-cooperation of the Pradesh Congress Committee and the AICC, Tirkey mentioned in the letter.
He held the OPCC and AICC accountable for the poor state of the party in the Rourkela organizational district and said the party has no future.
Earlier, he had quit the post of President of the Congress’ Rourkela organizational district a few days back.
He said his fight for the people of the Sundargarh district will, however, continue. He also took away his personal assets including air-conditioners, fridges and chairs from the Congress Bhawan at Rourkela.
