Former Union Minister and BJP leader Jaysingrao Gaikwad Patil resigned from the party on Tuesday.
He sent his resignation letter to Maharashtra BJP President Chandrakant Patil in the morning.
“I am willing to work for the party, but the party does not give me the opportunity, so I took this step,” Gaikwad Patil, who lives in Aurangabad, told PTI by phone.
In his letter to Chandrakant Patil, he said that he was resigning from the state unit of the BJP and also from the main membership of the party.
The veteran leader said he previously served as a minister at the Center, as well as in Maharashtra.
“I don’t want to be a member of Parliament or a member of the Legislative Assembly now. I want to work to strengthen the party and I have been asking for that responsibility for a decade. But even so, the game did not give me the opportunity, “he said.
“The party does not want those who have made efforts to raise the party in the state,” he further stated.
When contacted, BJP state chairman Chandrakant Patil declined to comment on the matter.
