Senior Bharatiya Janata Party leader LK Advani has resigned from all positions in the party, TV channels are reporting.
Advani, 85, "resigned" a day after Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi was made chairperson of the party campaign committee for the 2014 general elections. Modi's elevation makes him the face of BJP for the elections, and Advani is believed to be opposed to this.
What he said in the letter:
No longer I have the feeling that this is the same idealistic party created by Shyama Prasad Mookerjee, Deendayal Upadhyay and A B Vajpayee.
Most BJP leaders are concerned just with their personal agendas.
I have been finding it difficult to either reconcile with the current functioning of the party or direction in which its going.
