In what would be another setback for the Bharatiya Janata Party,senior leader Yash Pal Mahajan today announced his decision to retire from all party positions. While he claimed that the decision was being taken due to health reasons,he rued that for the past two years he had not been consulted by the party.

Mahajan was the former president of the city unit of the party and is member of BJP National Council said that he would no longer take up any responsibility in the party. He said,People who at one point or the other held positions in the party are sitting at home. For the past two years,I have not been consulted. There are people who have not been given responsibility for the past many years. It is the responsibility of the party president of the unit to get people together.

Mahajan,who completed 50 years with the party,further said that he was among those who contributed to the building of the present office of the BJP in Sector 33. The office was inaugurated in 2006 by senior leader Sushma Swaraj.

He rued that the foundation stone was completely neglected and had been relegated to the back side of the building. He said that it needs to be preserved.

Mahajan said that he did not agree with the way the list of candidates was changed a day after being announced. Once the candidates are declared,till an objection is raised about a candidate having a criminal background,there should be no change in the list. At present there is resentment among the candidates. People were assured of tickets,their expectations increased and then they were not given tickets. The party president should try to improve the situation, he said.

There has been much ruckus in the party over the past few days over distribution of tickets.

Mahajan said that there was a wave in favour of the BJP,with the common man affected due to the issued of corruption and inflation. He suggested that the party president take out a list of people who have been sidelined and contact them so that they can be a part of the campaign. He said that there was a need to bring the party together and not break it.
