New Delhi, Jun 17 : Already battling a crisis at the top, BJP was hit by a fresh problem with former Uttarakhand Chief Minister Bhagat Singh Koshiyari quitting his membership of the Rajya Sabha, pushing further his campaign against Chief Minister B C Khanduri.
"I have quit as a member of the Rajya Sabha. I have sent my resignation to the Chairman," he told reporters here capping his days of campaign against Khanduri in the wake of the party's rout in the Lok Sabha elections where it lost all the 5 seats.
The senior BJP leader said he had resigned from the Upper House to devote more time to "resurrect" the party in the hill state where it lost all the five Lok Sabha seats.
"I will work like an ordinary party worker to resurrect the BJP in Uttarakhand and take it to the victory path in the 2012 assembly elections," he said.
Koshiyari's resignation comes on top of voices of dissent in the party over the Lok Sabha debacle with leaders like Yashwant Sinha and Jaswant Singh questioning the way the organisation was being run and nominations were made to the parliamentary party posts.
Sinha, who himself quit as Vice President, has demanded that all the office bearers should resign owning moral responsibility for the defeat. Z
