Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader, Yogendra Yadav on Tuesday, questioned the timing Ajay Singh Yadav's decision to resign as power minister from the Bhupinder Singh Hooda government in Haryana, and also poked fun at the Hooda government calling it a sinking ship.

"It's no secret that Congress is a sinking ship in Haryana, and when the ship is sinking people run away, they die. This is one of those moves. I am told he has said something about regional discrimination. Who would believe these things. These people were there for nine-and-a half-years and more, with the Congress, did whatever they wanted to do. And now suddenly two months before they discover discrimination. What were they doing when they were in power. " Yadav told ANI.

Giving a severe blow to the ruling Congress, Haryana Power Minister Ajay Singh Yadav today resigned from the state government accusing Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda of marginalising him in decision-making.
