Rajasthan' senior BJP leader Ghanshyam Tiwari quits party, makes serious allegation on CM

Rebel Rajasthan BJP leader Ghanshyam Tiwari today said that he has tendered his resignation from the party and will fight against the "undeclared emergency" in the state and country.
Tiwari had been at loggerheads with the Vasundhara Raje dispensation in the state over a number of issues, including farmers' plight, demand of reservation for the upper caste and corruption. He has been criticising Raje and the BJP leadership after the party's national disciplinary committee issued show-cause notices to him last year.
The notices were sent to him after he alleged that the Rajasthan BJP had become a place for mafias and sycophants, while loyal and qualified people were being sidelined.
Tiwari's son Akhilesh has founded a political outfit named 'Bharat Vahini Party' to contest on all 200 Assembly seats in Rajasthan, the election for which is slated to be held later this year.
At a press conference here today, he said, "Undeclared emergency is more dangerous than actual emergency. I have witnessed both the phases and I am tendering my resignation from the party (BJP) to fight against it."
Tiwari said it was good that the BJP was observing 'Black Day' against the Emergency declared by the Indira Gandhi-led government on June 25, 1975.
"Though imposing emergency is now not possible, it is worth mentioning that the country is going through a phase of undeclared emergency for the last four years," he said.
The disgruntled leader said that he has sent his resignation to BJP President Amit Shah.
