SP Legislator From Hardoi Sadar Nitin Agarwal Resigns

Lucknow, January 19 (TNA) Samajwadi Party (SP) legislator from Hardoi Nitin Agarwal quit the party on Wednesday. In a brief letter sent to SP chief Akhilesh Yadav, the young leader said that he was resigning from the primary membership of the party with immediate effect.
