Summary:
A DAY after Congress MLA Surjit Singh Gillian quit all party posts, two more Congress MLAs followed suit Saturday: Surjit Singh Dhiman, Congress MLA from Amargarh constituency of Sangrur and Nathu Ram Congress MLA from Balluana constituency of Fazilka district. Sources said they were unhappy at being ignored in the Cabinet expansion and felt the party had ignored the SC/Backward Classes (BC) voters. While Dhiman is from the BC, Nathu Ram is an SC. Dhiman was vice president of PPCC and an AICC delegate and Nathu Ram was general secretary of PPCC and a delegate. In Dirba, the two announced they had sent their resignations to the Punjab Congress chief Sunil Jakhar via email..
