"Have I done anything wrong to resign. When you have done nothing wrong....it seems to me it means that you are giving more importance to other people's perception.

"I am not not going to resign. Obviously I am not not going to be an embarrassment to the Congress Party. These are false and motivated charges levelled by business interests of some vested interests,," he told a TV news channel.
