After filing a nomination for Rajya Sabha elections, former Union Minister Kapil said, "I had tendered my resignation from the Congress party on 16th May."
It is important to be an independent voice. While staying in Opposition we want to create an alliance so that we can oppose the Modi govt, he added.
