On Friday, The Congress in Rajasthan suffered a major setback after 400 party workers resigned from its primary membership, leaving the party in crisis, said party sources.
The Congress has formed an alliance with the Rashtriya Loktantrik Party on the Nagaur Lok Sabha seat and left it for the RLP.
Nagaur MP and RLP Chief Hanuman Beniwal was fielded by the Congress.
Meanwhile, three Congress workers were suspended for six years on allegations of campaigning in favor of BJP candidate Jyoti Mirdha from Nagaur based on a complaint made by Beniwal.
Soon after the suspension of these Congress leaders which included former MLA Bhararam, Kuchera Municipality Chairperson Tejpal Mirdha, and Sukharam Dodwadiya, there was a furor among Congress workers in Nagaur.
The three Congress leaders resigned from the party's membership.
Tejpal Mirdha called a Press Conference, and said, "Congress was in a strong position in Nagaur during Assembly polls.
It won four seats out of eight. Even in Lok Sabha polls, its position was equally strong. Despite this, why was the alliance formed with the RLP."
"Hanuman Beniwal is a tool who is trying to destroy the Congress in Nagaur.
Congress workers have been deeply shocked by the formation of an alliance with such a person. That's why we all are giving our collective resignation letter," he added.
