New Delhi:

Congress leader Arvinder Singh Lovely today resigned as the chief of the party's Delhi unit over its alliance with the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP).

Arvinder Singh Lovely said that since he cannot protect the interests of the Delhi Congress workers, he sees no reason to continue as the chief of city's party unit.

"The Delhi Congress Unit was against an alliance with a Party which was formed on the sole basis of leveling false, fabricated and malafide corruption charges against the Congress Party. Despite that, the party made a decision to ally with the AAP in Delhi," he said in his letter to Congress Chief Mallikarjun Kharge.

Mr Lovely also also alleged that several decisions taken by him as the Delhi Congress Chief were vetoed by the AICC General Secretary (Delhi In-charge)."Since my appointment as DPCC President, the AICC General Secretary (Delhi In-charge) has not allowed me to make any senior appointments in the DPCC," he said.

Arvinder Singh Lovely was appointed the Delhi Congress President in August last year.
