"The AAP came to power by abusing the Congress. We all had expressed our feelings when Arvinder Singh Lovely was president but no one listened to us. The alliance is against the workers' feelings, so I have resigned," Bidhuri said.

He said he has no immediate plans of joining any political party.

The Congress had on Tuesday appointed former MLA Devender Yadav as the interim president of its Delhi unit.
