Rourkela: Tribal leader and former MLA George Tirkey resigned from the Congress party on Saturday. He sent his resignation letter to the OPCC president.

In his letter, Tirkey said he did his best to strengthen the party at the grassroots level but failed due to non-cooperation of the OPCC and AICC. He squarely blamed the OPCC and AICC for the Congress’ slide in Rourkela and said the party has no future.

A few days ago, he quit as president of the party’s Rourkela district unit. After quitting on Saturday, Tirkey took away furniture, AC, cooler and CCTVs from the party office at Sector-21 here.

Former Youth Congress secretary SK Firdos lodged a police complaint in this regard. Defending his action, Tirkey said he had spent Rs 8 lakh from his pocket to renovate the party office.
