New Delhi:
Suresh Kalmadi Tuesday resigned as Congress Parliamentary
Party(CPP) secretary after he was asked to quit in the wake of
serious corruption allegations against him as head of the
Commonwealth Games Organising Committee, sources said.
Kalmadi was asked to resign as CPP secretary ahead of the winter
session of parliament that began Tuesday, sources said.
Opposition parties had planned disruptions of parliamentary
proceedings to target the government over Kalmadi's role in the
alleged bungling of funds meant for the Oct 3-14 Games.
"That Kalmadi has offered his resignation should stand alone. That
should not connect with the Congress at all," party spokesperson
Jayanti Natarajan told a private news channel.
The government has already started investigations into the alleged
misappropriation of the funds.
