BJP accepts Yashwant Sinha's resignation

The war within the BJP has got worse with party President Rajnath Singh accepting the resignation of Yashwant Sinha from all party posts -- that of BJP vice president, national executive and in charge, Karnataka affairs.

This comes after Yashwant wrote a letter to Rajnath Singh in which he announced his decision to resign.

In the five-page letter, Sinha said that the BJP is putting a premium on failure.

The top BJP leaders were trying to convince Sinha, however, he is refusing to take their calls.

NDTV has exclusive access to a five-page letter that Yashwant Sinha has written to party president Rajnath Singh questioning post-poll decisions.

Yashwant Sinha has said that some people in the BJP do not want accountability to prevail and those who toiled in the field have not even been heard, sources said.

Yashwant has also questioned those responsible for management of campaign.

The former minister said that he is getting a sinking feeling that there is a conspiracy of silence, and that the party constitution has been violated in election of office bearers.

Meanwhile, stunned by the airing of grievances in public, party president Rajnath Singh issued some express orders to rein the dissenters while addressing mediapersons at the party headquarters.
