JAIPUR: Less than two months after he found a place in the BJP’s national executive, Gujjar leader Col Kirori Singh Bainsla on Monday announced his resignation from the party. Bainsla, who became a member of the party in 2009 just before the Lok Sabha polls, had also contested and lost from Tonk-Sawai Madhopur constituency.
“I am resigning from all political posts that I hold,” Bainsla said at the mahapanchayat. “This fight is not for my personal gains but for the community. I want to congratulate the chief minister on his birthday on behalf of our community,” Bainsla said at a mahapanchayat called at Mehrawar in Alwar district on Monday.
“The matter is being dragged on and on... I give the government time till the afternoon of May 5. Either they announce a 5% reservation for us or else we will launch a strong agitation in the state,” he said. The mahapadav on that day will be held at Madanpur in the Bharatpur district, he said.
However, BJP president Arun Chaturvedi said that though he was aware of Bainsla announcing his resignation, he was yet to receive a formal letter.
