No question of quitting as BJP president, says Amit Shah

TIL Desk/National/Lucknow/ BJP president Amit Shah on Monday said there was no question of him leaving the party post and he was working “happily” and “wholeheartedly”.

Ending speculation that he would resign as party president if elected to the Rajya Sabha, Shah also denied that the BJP had broken any party in Bihar.

“It was Nitish Kumar who resigned from the post of the chief minister as he did not want to continue with the corrupt. Are we supposed to force them to continue?”

Shah, who arrived on Saturday on a three-day visit, answered a range of questions, including on getting elected to the Rajya Sabha and subsequently resigning as party president.

“There is no question of doing so. I have the responsibility of being the party president. I am happy, and I am working wholeheartedly. You people (media) please do not push,” Shah told reporters.

The BJP president exuded confidence that the party would come back to power with more strength in the next Lok Sabha election in 2019.
