Abhay Singh Chautala, 57, leader of Indian National Lok Dal leader on Wednesday gave resignation from his MLA position from the Haryana Assembly as farmers demands have not been met. 

Speaker Gian Chand Gupta said he has accepted Abhay Chautala's resignation with immediate effect.

The INLD leader was the party's lone MLA in the 90-member State Assembly and represented the Ellenabad seat. The younger son of INLD president and former Chief Minister Om Prakash Chautala reached the state assembly complex driving a green tractor to submit his resignation. 

Mr Chautala had earlier written to the Haryana Assembly speaker mentioning that by January 26 if the Centre does not repeal the three farm laws, then his letter should be taken as his resignation as MLA from the House. 

In the letter to Gupta, Abhay Chautala had slammed the Centre for imposing the "black laws" on farmers in an "undemocratic way" and claimed that the entire farming community across the country is opposing these legislations.
