Bahujan Samaj Party chief Mayawati's resignation was accepted today after she met Vice President Hamid Ansari, the chairman of the Rajya Sabha, with a second letter, a one-line handwritten note.
Mayawati resigned from the Rajya Sabha on Tuesday after walking out of the house angrily and alleging that she was not being allowed to speak on what she called atrocities on Dalits. Her three-page resignation was not accepted, reportedly because it was not in the format required.
