In yet another setback to the Opposition Congress ahead of the upcoming Lok Sabha polls, Manavadar MLA Arvind Ladani resigned from the party today. His resignation comes days after Congress's Gujarat unit working president Ambarish Der resigned and announced his plans to join BJP.
Five-time TMC MLA Tapas Roy on Monday resigned from all his party positions as well as the assembly, expressing displeasure over the functioning of the party.
“TMC gave him all the posts possible, and he backstabbed the party. He has no ideology or principle. He ran away in fear of ED raid, or they must have offered him something big. He surrendered himself to BJP and the people of Bengal will not forgive him for this.”

Gujarat Congress MLA Arvind Ladani on Wednesday resigned from the Assembly and also the party, becoming the fourth legislator of the opposition outfit to quit in the last three months and giving a fresh jolt to it in the BJP-ruled state ahead of the Lok Sabha polls. The resignation by the first-time MLA from Manavadar in Junagadh district, who is set to join the BJP, comes on the eve of the entry of Congress' Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra led by its Lok Sabha MP Rahul Gandhi in Gujarat and two days after party stalwart Arjun Modhwadia walked out of the organisation. Ladani tendered his resignation to Gujarat Assembly Speaker Shankar Chaudhary at the latter's official residence in Gandhinagar, and later said it is necessary to be with the ruling party to develop his Assembly constituency. The Speaker's office confirmed that Chaudhary has accepted Ladani's resignation.
