Mumbai: Stating that he
has lost faith in the party, former deputy mayor of Mumbai and Bharatiya Janata Party leader (BJP) Rajesh Sharma Sunday resigned
from the organisation and announced that he will formally join the
Congress.
"The decision making process in the party has deteriorated and
deserving people are not valued here. Hence, the decision to move
away," he told IANS.
Sharma has been associated with the BJP since 1988.
"Sonia Gandhi has nurtured the party (Congress) in a very mature
way and the Gandhi family always had the best interests of the
country in their minds. I felt it was the right time and the right
party to move to," Sharma said.
Sharma was the Mumbai BJP's general secretary before he resigned
Sunday. He also claimed that there were over 2,000 party workers
associated with him and they might also put in their papers.
