Bharatiya Janata Party leader and Hazaribag MP Jayant Sinha has requested the party to relieve him from direct electoral duties. Earlier today, cricketer Gautam Gambhir had requested the party to relieve him from political duties to focus on his upcoming cricket commitments.
Jayant Sinha tweeted, “I have requested Honourable Party President Shri @JPNadda ji to relieve me of my direct electoral duties so that I can focus my efforts on combating global climate change in Bharat and around the world. Of course, I will continue to work with the party on economic and governance issues.” Sinha’s tweet hints he is unlikely to contest the upcoming Lok Sabha polls from Hazaribag.
“I have had the privilege of serving the people of Bharat and Hazaribagh for the past ten years. Moreover, I have been blessed by the many opportunities provided by Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri @narendramodiji, Hon’ble Home Minister Shri @AmitShahji, and the BJP leadership. My sincerest gratitude to all of them. Jai Hind!” Sinha tweeted.
Earlier today, BJP Lok Sabha MP from East Delhi Gautam Gambhir requested party president J.P. Nadda to relieve him of political duties so that he can focus on his upcoming cricket commitments. The move by Gambhir, a former team India cricketer, came amid buzz in the BJP circles about him being possibly replaced in the East Delhi Lok Sabha constituency in the upcoming general elections.
