"The resignation drama by 25 Congress MLAs was aimed at drawing people's sympathy," senior BJP leader and state party spokesman Bhupendra Singh said in a statement.

"If they really wanted to resign as MLAs they should have put in their papers to Assembly Speaker instead of approaching Sonia Gandhi," Singh added.
