Congress stalwart  Randeep Singh Surjewala said on Monday that party president Sonia Gandhi has not received the resignation letter of Sushmita Dev, the Ex-president of the Congress’ women’s wing. Terming Dev as a dedicated Congress worker, Surjewala stated he tried calling her but her phone was switched off. “Congress president Sonia Gandhi has not received any letter from her. She is mature enough to take her decisions, cannot comment until I speak with her,” Surjewala said, as per media reports.

In a letter addressed to Congress interim President Sonia Gandhi, Dev wrote, "Please treat this as my resignation from the primary membership of the Indian National Congress." Dev further stated that she "cherished" her 30-years-long association with the party May I take this opportunity to thank the Party, all its leaders, members and workers who have been a part of my memorable journey," wrote the former Congress MP from Silchar in Assam.

Sushmita Dev’s resignation intensifies the internal crisis in the Congress and it is very likely expected that several leaders or G-23 members will reiterate their demand for a major organizational revamp in the party.
