The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) declared the remaining six tickets on Thursday and prompted sitting MLA of Itanagar assembly constituency, Techi Kaso to resign from the party.

Without mincing any words, Kaso, in his resignation letter cited the denial of party ticket as the reason for his resignation.

Speaking to reporters after his resignation, Kaso said, “I do not know why I was denied the party ticket. The recommendations from here were good, but I don’t know what happened in Delhi. I have given my all to the party ever since I joined it, and kept faith in it till the very end. However, I did not expect such injustice from the party.”

He informed that he will now be contesting for the Itanagar seat from the Janata Dal (United).

“All the parties are good, and it isn’t only about the party, but about the people in them. I feel that the JD(U) is a good party and so do all my supporters, which is why I have chosen to contest from it.”

On his prospects of winning the elections, Kaso said, “The people here have the sensibility and know who and how their leaders are. The people will decide what kind of leader they want to represent them.”

Several other party leaders and workers, who were supporters of Kaso, also resigned from the party on the same day. More are expected to follow suit.
