In another big blow to the Congress ahead of the upcoming Lok Sabha Election, Vibhakar Shastri, grandson of India’s former Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri, resigned from the party’s primary membership on Wednesday.
Taking to X, Shastri tagged congress president Mallikarjun Kharge and said, “I hereby tender my resignation from the primary membership of Indian National Congress.”
