Yashwant sinha demand Nitin Gadkari’s resignation
New Delhi: Senior BJP leader Yashwant Sinha on Tuesday demanded the resignation of party president Nitin Gadkari on corruption charges against him.
“The BJP has always set the highest standard of conduct in the past which should be followed even now. We were a party with a difference earlier. We must continue to be a party with a difference even today and in future.” Yashwant sinha said.
The former Union Minister said he has been “greatly saddened” by the events over the last few weeks.
“We have also deeply disappointed those who were looking towards us to fight the mind boggling corruption of the Congress party.
“I would also like to put this question to the workers of the party and people at large. If I am wrong, please tell me so. If I am right, please support me in whatever way you can.”
Sinha said the highest standard of conduct set by leaders like Shyama Prasad Mukherjee, Deen Dayal Upadhyay, Atal Behari Vaypayee and L K Advani must be adhered to at all costs.
“The nation is in peril, our democracy is threatened and our future is far from perfect. The BJP must rise to the occasion and save the country,” he said.
While demanding Gadkari’s resignation, Ram Jethmalani had claimed the support of Yashwant Sinha, Shatrughan Sinha and Jaswant Singh. Senior BJP leader from Karnataka Jagdish Shettigar had also demanded Gandkari’s resignation in the wake of allegations against him.
