The resignation of BJP patriarch LK Advani has left the party stunned. BJP leader Ananth Kumar, who has gone to meet party President Rajnath Singh, has said the party won't accept Advani's resignation. Sources say senior BJP leader Sushma Swaraj is expected to meet Advani.
Senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader LK Advani on Monday resigned from all party posts just a day after party President Rajnath Singh made Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi the chief of Central Election Committee for the 2014 Lok Sabha elections.
The resignation of Advani, who was reportedly sick and ignored by the party top leadership at the two-day National Executive meet in Goa, brings the split within the party out in the open. Advani's resignation has stunned the BJP leaders to silence, who are refusing to speak on the issue. BJP leader Venkaiah Naidu met Rajnath Singh a few minutes after Advani's resignation.
Advani sent his resignation letter to Rajnath Singh alleging that many BJP leaders are now "concerned just with their personal agendas".
"All my life I have found working for the Jana Sangh and the Bharatiya Janata Party a matter of great pride and endless satisfaction to myself," said Advani in his resignation letter.
