In a letter to Health Secretary Alok Shukla, Renu said she was unable to remain in government service after her husband got injured in a road accident.

"Hence with immediate effect, my resignation letter may please be accepted so that I could discharge my family responsibilities," she said.

Top official sources said that the resigation was submitted on Tuesday and has not yet been accepted.

Renu was working as an Associate Professor of Opthamology in Raipur Medical College Hospital.

Sources close to Jogi's family said Renu may campaign for her husband in Mahasamund constituency since he was undergoing treatment in Mumbai for spinal injuries suffered in a car accident on Sunday.
