Former Union Minister V Kishore Chandra Deo resigned from Congress today. He tendered his resignation to Rahul Gandhi in a letter.
Deo was Union Cabinet Minister for Tribal Affairs and Panchayat Raj from 2011 to 2014. He was also Minister of State for Steel in 1979-80. He was re-elected four times to Lok Sabha and was also a member of Rajya Sabha.
He was viewed as Congress’ tribal face from Andhra Pradesh.
His decision to quit came a day after a Gujarat MLA quit accusing Congress of politics.
