According to a report published by Hindustan Times (HT), Sunil Jakhar claimed that he had met All India Congress Committee (AICC) president Sonia Gandhi on May 20 and offered his written resignation taking moral responsibility of his defeat at Ferozpur Lok Sabha seat but she refused to accept the same and asked him to continue as CLP leader.
