On Monday, 25th June 2018, the Bharatiya Janata Party leader from Rajasthan, Ghanshyam Tiwari resigned from the party. While resigning from the party he accused Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje of corruption and nepotism.
Tiwari is a five-time MLA acting like a carnivorous animal with the Raje’s government over many issues, majorly with corruption matters the farmer problems and demand for reservation for upper caste.
Tiwari wrote in his resignation letter to BJP National President Amit Shah that “The chief of state government in Rajasthan in collusion with some ministers and bureaucrats has been robbing the state and the level of corruption has scaled a new high,” he also accused Shah of inaction.
Later, after submitting his resignation the leader addressed the press on Monday itself saying the country was going through a phase of “undeclared emergency” for the last four years and he was ready to fight against it. “Undeclared emergency is more dangerous than actual emergency,” according to PTI. “I have witnessed both the phases and I am tendering my resignation from the party to fight against it.”
Last year, in 2017, the leader was issued show-cause notices by BJP’s national disciplinary committee, who represented Sanganer constituency, after he supposed that the state party unit had become a place for mafias and sycophants, PTI reported. Introducing his son’s newly-floated party, Bharat Vahini Party, Tiwari declared that he would contest from the same constituency in the upcoming Assembly elections in Rajasthan. As the polls are scheduled for later this year.
