Veteran BJP leader in Gujarat Jay Narayan Vyas resigns from party
Ahmedabad: Jay Narayan Vyas, veteran leader of the BJP and former health minister, has resigned from the party after an association with the party for almost three decades.
Addressing mediapersons here on Saturday, Vyas said that he would be contesting the upcoming elections to the Gujarat Assembly, but is keeping his options open. He would discuss with his supporters before deciding on joining the Congress or the Aam Aadmi Party.
“I was relegated to the position of the complainant in the party, which proved a humiliation to my experience. As a result, I decided to quit the BJP,” Vyas clarified, said sources.
The leader, who represents Siddhpur constituency in Patan district, also reportedly accused the members of the district committee of the BJP of trying to get a hold over the district.
“Surveys show me to be a popular candidate in Siddhpur constituency. I have contested seven elections from here and have won four times, although I could not retain the seat in the 2017 election,” Vyas added.
