Senior party leader LK Advani on Monday resigned from all posts of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). The resignation came a day after Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi was appointed the head of the party’s election campaign committee for 2014 Lok Sabha elections.
In a letter written to BJP president Rajnath Singh, Advani said he is resigning from the national executive, parliamentary board and election committee.
A dejected Advani, who did not attend the party’s three-day conclave in Goa, wrote in the letter, “The direction in which the party is going is not the way it was planned by the party's founders.”
“I find it difficult to work with people who are concerned only with personal agenda,” the veteran wrote further, describing several party leaders as selfish.
He added that he “no longer has the feeling that the BJP is still the idealistic party it was founded to be”.
