Itanagar: Former Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Nabam Tuki has resigned as the president of the state Congress, ahead of the Lok Sabha and the assembly elections, a party leader said on Saturday.
Tuki sent his resignation to the All India Congress Committee on Friday, following the defection of three-party MLAs to BJP, he said.
"The former chief minister resigned on moral grounds as he could not prevent the MLAs from defecting to other political parties," APCC general secretary Gyamar Tana said.
