Union minister Harish Rawat, who lost in the race for Uttarakhand Chief Ministership, is said to have resigned from the Union government.
Mr. Rawat, Minister of State for Agriculture and Parliamentary Affairs, sent his resignation to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, Congress sources said.
“We can only confirm that the resignation has been sent,” said a Congress leader close to Mr. Rawat.
The move comes after the Congress High Command overlooked his claims for the Chief Minister’s post which has gone to another MP Vijay Bahuguna.
