L.K.Advani the senior leader of Bharatiya Janata Party tendered his resignation to the Party President Rajnath Singh.  The following is the text of his letter.

Dear Shri Rajnath Singhji

All my life I have found working for the Jana Sangh and Bharatiya Janata Party as matter of great pride and endless satisfaction for myself.

For some time I have been finding it difficult to reconcile either with the current functioning of the party of the direction in which it is going. I no longer have the feeling that this is the same idealistic party created by Dr Mookerji, Pandit Deendayalji, Nanaji and Vajpayeeji, whose sole concern was the country and its people. Most leaders of ours are now concerned just with their personal agendas.

I have decided, therefore, to resign from the threee main fora of the party, namely the National Executive, the Parliamentary Board and the Election Committee. This may be regarded as my resignation letter.

Yours sincerely

(Signed)

L K Advani
