Former Haryana minister Captain Ajay Singh Yadav on Monday held a press conference in which he asserted that he will now speak within the party (Congress) limits. He also announced the withdrawal of his resignation. His presser comes amid ambiguity over reports on his resignation from Congress. 

The reason for taking back my resignation is that people's voices will be heard in the party, he said, adding he had an offer from BJP, before the elections as well as after. 

I have a 70-year-old relationship with this party, I worked with Rajiv Gandhi and Sonia ji, Yadav said, assertng the place I am sitting in is because of Sonia Gandhi.

Yadav attacks EVMs

"There is a big question mark on EVM in the just concluded Haryana Assembly elections. In some places, it seems that the programming (in the EVMs) was already done. In Palwal, the LED was off for 40 minutes, at my place too it was off for 40 minutes," Yadav targeted the EVM during his press conference.
