Maverick Congress legislator Alpesh Thakore, who had been keeping party leaders on tenterhooks for some time, resigned on Wednesday.
The Gujarat Kshatriya Thakore Sena, which he had himself floated several years ago, is learnt to have asked Thakore to clarify if he wished to continue with the Congress, since the outfit had decided to sever all ties with the party.
A late Tuesday night meeting of the Thakore Sena's core committee resolved to end its association with the Congress and exhorted Thakore to resign from the party within 24 hours.
