Bansi is casteist, alleges Jindal

He resigned in protest against what he called the double-faced politics and misrule of Bansi Lal, who is also the party president.

Announcing his decision to quit the party, Jindal, a leading industrialist, accused Bansi Lal of not fulfilling the promises made to the people at the time the party was formed in 1991.

He said he would finalise his course of action after consulting members of his community, minorities and other sections, including his supporters.

Rajiv Jain, HVP general secretary, condemned Jindal for leaving the party. He said his allegations were false and baseless. He alleged that Jindal had never raised people-related issues in the Parliament and had failed to meet the expectations of the residents of Hisar, his constituency.
