The resignation that wasn't

Gurudas Kamath, a Congress Lok Sabha member from Maharashtra, was ready to quit the party until colleagues convinced him to take back his resignation. He quit, possibly riled by the profile Sanjay Nirupam was getting, but has withdrawn his resignation after being persuaded that the party valued his services too much to let him go. This is what Kamath SMSed supporters: "I met the honourable Congress president... and expressed a desire to resign. Subsequently, I sent letters to both Soniaji and Rahulji that I would like to exit... Since there was no reply I have formally informed that I would like to retire from politics." All's well that ends well. But there's a message in there somewhere.
