Senior tribal leader Nand Kumar Sai from Chhattisgarh quits BJP

Blaming political rivals in his own party for continuously hurting his dignity by making false allegations, senior Bharatiya Janata Party leader from Chhattisgarh and former Chairman of the National Commission for Scheduled Tribes Nand Kumar Sai quit the party on Sunday.

In his resignation letter, Mr. Sai, a tribal leader from the Sarguja belt, said he was resigning from all party posts and primary membership of the party.

“From the beginning of the formation and existence of the Bharatiya Janata Party till today, I have fulfilled all the responsibilities and duties assigned to me by the party with full dedication and devotion. I express my gratitude to the party for this, but for the last few years, with the aim of tarnishing my image in the Bharatiya Janata Party, my political rivals of my own party have continuously hurt my dignity by making false allegations and other activities against me,” the letter said.
