Senior tribal leader from Chhattisgarh, Nand Kumar Sai, on December 20 left the Congress party. The development comes just months after the veteran, who has been a BJP State president and the Leader of the Opposition in the State Assembly, left the BJP to join the Congress.
Back in May, Mr. Sai had accused political rivals of his own party, then the BJP, for continuously hurting his dignity by making false allegations. Apart from holding an organisational post, Mr. Sai, who comes from the tribal belt of Sarguja, has been an MP and an MLA in the past, and is a former Chairperson of the National Commission for Scheduled Tribes.
