Spate of resignations by Congress office-bearers

Several office-bearers of the Congress, including its general secretary in charge of Madhya Pradesh Dipak Babaria and Goa unit chief Girish Chodankar, resigned on Friday, after MP Vivek Tankha quit as the chairman of the party's legal and human rights cell and urged others to follow suit to give a free hand to Rahul Gandhi to restructure the party at all levels.

Both Babaria and Chodankar took the responsibility for the Lok Sabha poll debacle of the party in their respective states.
