After his exit from the National Executive, Sanjay Joshi has now quit the BJP. Joshi, who is a former RSS pracharak and was a general secretary of BJP, has requested BJP President Nitin Gadkari that he be "relieved from the party".
BJP spokesperson Prakash Javadekar confirmed that Joshi has quit from the party and BJP President Nitin Gadkari has accepted his resignation. Joshi had quit the BJP national executive last month, when Gujarat CM had refused to attend the National Executive meet if Sanjay Joshi was present there.
Both the BJP and RSS have been divided on the manner in which Mr. Joshi had to resign from the National Executive as Mr. Modi put this as a condition for him to attend the Mumbai conclave.
Since then, the BJP and RSS mouthpieces have written for or against the two leaders.
While BJP mouthpiece Kamal Sandesh and RSS mouthpiece Panchajanya hit out at Mr. Modi, another RSS mouthpiece Organiser spoke in Mr. Modi’s favour.
A few days back, posters appeared in Ahmedabad and at the BJP headquarters here batting for Joshi and attacking Modi. Some posters were also put up today in Ahmedabad in support of JoshiJoshi was handling the BJP's election programme for the forthcoming local bodies polls in Uttar Pradesh.
