BJP's Pradipsinh Vaghela today resigned as the Gujarat general secretary, party officials said. While stepping down, Mr Vaghela told people that "everything will be alright in a few days."
Mr Vaghela had been appointed as the general secretary of the state BJP on August 10, 2016.
The development has come at a time when there is an alleged rebellion against Gujarat BJP president CR Patil in south Gujarat.
Mr Vaghela told news agency ANI that he had resigned from the post of the party's general secretary a few days back. He however did not give any reason behind his move.
Pradipsinh Vaghela is also the former president of Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM).
