A select few are running the show from behind the scenes, thereby eliminating internal dissent and grassroots connect. I speak not just for myself but for the countless workers and voters who stood with us in faith and who feel let down today.

Although I am leaving the party, I am fully dedicated to the ideology of Hindutva, service to religion and the people of Goshamahal. I will continue to raise my voice more strongly and stand firmly with the Hindu society.”
