Amdavad: The BJP leader and Member of Parliament from Bharuch (MP) Mansukh Vasava resigned from the Party.
In a letter to Gujarat BJP President C R Paatil, Vasava said that “I will submit my resignation as a Member of Parliament to the Lok Sabha speaker during the upcoming budget session,”
Earlier, Vasava wrote a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and urged him to withdraw the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change’s (MoEFCCs) order in the interest of farmers and locals.
According to the political experts in Gujarat “The reason behind the resignation of Tribal leader Vasava – could be interference of the private properties of the tribal areas. Vasava resignation could affect BJP in next Gujarat assembly election 2022. His resignation comes amid current tribal protests in Narmada district over the final notification declaring eco-sensitive zone around Shoolpaneshwar Wildlife Sanctuary that will include 121 villages around the Statue of Unity.”
“In the name of the notification of the MoEFCC, government officials have begun interfering in the private properties of the tribals. The local tribals in Narmada have not been taken into confidence or given the understanding of the issue, which has created fear and mistrust among them. The locals are preparing for protests and some opposition parties are leveraging on the lack of communication between the government and the locals, inciting them against the government,” Vasava stated in a letter.
Vasava expressed concerns for the Party and said “The party has given me opportunities beyond my capacity. I will always be grateful for this to the central leadership. I have been carefully adhering to the principles of the party as well as my personal belief system,”
“At the end of the day, I am a human So that my mistakes do not cause damage to the party, I am tendering my resignation. Please forgive me.” he added.
