‘Party is Now Platform to Seek Power’: Ex-Arunachal CM Quits BJP

Gegong Apang resigned from primary membership of BJP, saying it was no longer following the principles of Vajpayee.

Former Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister and senior BJP leader Gegong Apang on Tuesday, 15 January, resigned from the party, saying it was no longer following the principles of the late Atal Bihari Vajpayee.

"I am disappointed to see that the present day BJP is no longer following the principles of the late Vajpayeeji," Apang said in his resignation letter sent to BJP President Amit Shah.

“The party is now a platform to seek power, it serves a leadership which hates decentralisation of democratic decision making and no longer believes that the party founded by, for and of the cadre is only seeking to capture power [sic].”
