Former JDU spokesperson Sunil Singh announces resignation from party on Pran Pratishtha day
Patna: The Janata Dal-United (JDU) suffered a major blow on Pran Pratishtha day as one of its spokespersons, Sunil Singh, shared his resignation letter from the party on social media on Monday.
Singh had tendered his resignation from the post of State Spokesperson and the party's primary membership to state party chief Umesh Singh Kushwaha in December last year. Sharing a snapshot of his resignation letter on Monday, Sunil Singh said he has decided to make his resignation public and that Lord Ram will guide him on his path of duty.
"On this auspicious day, following the ideals of Lord Shri Ram and following his direction, I make public my resignation from the primary membership of JDU and the post of spokesperson. Lord Shri Ram will further guide me on my path of duty," the former JDU spokesperson said in a Facebook post.
Sharing his experience and gratitude on the day of the Pran Pratishtha of Lord Ram Lalla at Ayodhya, Singh said that the country is "Rammay" and all Indians feel blessed by chanting Lord Ram's name.
"Today the whole of India is in Rammay. There is joy everywhere due to the slogan of Jai Shri Ram and songs and music. We Indians are feeling blessed just by chanting his name. I too, Akinchan, bow down before that Lord Shri Ram," he said.
"I, Dr. Sunil Kumar Singh, resign from the post of State Spokesperson along with primary membership of the party due to personal reasons," he stated in his resignation letter thanking senior leaders of his party.
