He said that the decision to tender the resignation of the BJP members and dissolving the party mandals in Saikul AC was taken in view of giving party ticket to an undeserving candidate.
The BJP Mandal president went on to claim that he had been working heart and soul for the progress of the party in the same Assembly Constituency since he joined BJP in 2017 .
He also alleged that the BJP ticket for the candidacy of Saikul Assembly Constituency was given against the aspirations of BJP's grassroots level workers and village chiefs in the Assembly Constituency.
