Shivpuri (Madhya Pradesh): Former MLA from Kolaras Virendra Raghuvanshi has resigned from the primary membership of Congress. He wrote a resignation letter to the party, citing health issues.

Regarding the current environment of the parties, he said that “now there is no such environment here. Now either there are no parties left worthy of me or I am not left for political parties. I am also not able to understand this. Due to this I have made up my mind to stay away from politics. Now I will not go to any party.”
MLA Virendra Raghuvanshi started his political career with Congress. He became MLA for the first time by winning the 2007 by-election from Shivpuri Assembly.
Holding his own senior leaders responsible for the defeat in the 2008 and 2013 assembly elections, Virendra Raghuvanshi resigned from the Congress in 2014.
