Milind Deora Quits Congress ‘Ends 55-Year Family Relationship With Party’

New Delhi: Milind Deora on Sunday announced his resignation from the primary membership of the Congress, ending his family’s 55-year relationship with the party.

“Today marks the conclusion of a significant chapter in my political journey. I have tendered my resignation from the primary membership of Congress, ending my family’s 55-year relationship with the party…,” Milind Deora, the son of Congress veteran Murli Deora, wrote on social media X.

“I am grateful to all leaders, colleagues & karyakartas for their unwavering support over the years,” Deora added.

Deor dismissed the speculation of his joining the Shiv Sena-led by Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shindeas “rumours”.

Deora recently expressed his displeasure over the Shiv Sena (UBT) staking a claim to the Mumbai South Lok Sabha constituency public, and told reporters that he was holding discussions with his supporters. “I am listening to my supporters…Haven’t taken a decision yet,” the former Mumbai South MP said when asked if he was chalking out a plan with his supporters.
