Sonia Gandhi accepts resignations of Subhash Chopra, PC Chacko

Congress president Sonia Gandhi on Wednesday accepted the resignation of Delhi unit president Subhash Chopra and AICC in-charge PC Chacko following the party's drubbing in the assembly elections. 

The Congress drew a blank in the second consecutive election, with its vote share also plummeting to 4.26% from 9.7% in 2015.

Chopra resigned on Tuesday from his post, taking moral responsibility for the party's debacle in the Assembly polls.

"I take moral responsibility for the party's debacle and have resigned," he was quoted as saying by PTI.
