Following speculation in the media, Raj Bhabbar has denied rumours of stepping down as UP Congress chief. The speculation arose against the backdrop of the party's dismal performance in the Lok Sabha bypolls for the Gorakhpur and Phulpur seats.
The two Lok Sabha seats had fallen vacant after the resignation of UP Chief Minister Yogi Aditynath and Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya.
Previously, in 2017, Babbar had offered to resign after facing criticism for the party’s performance in the Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections.
