Advani's resignation unfortunate: Kalyan Singh
Lucknow, June 10: Former Uttar Pradesh chief minister Kalyan Singh Monday termed the resignation of BJP patriarch L.K. Advani as unfortunate.
Calling
Advani
one
of
the
founding
fathers
of
the
Bharatiya
Janata
Party
(BJP)
who
worked
hard
to
create
the
structure
of
the
saffron
party,
Singh
told
reporters
here
that
he
hoped
party
leaders
would
be
able
to
persuade
Advani
to
withdraw
his
resignation
from
all
party
posts.
Singh, who has parted ways with the BJP twice in the past, was considered close to Advani over the then prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee's camp. "Advani ji has been the architect of the BJP and has contributed immensely to the party since the Jan Sangh days. I am sure the issue will be sorted out soon" he said.
Singh merged his party, the Rashtriya Kranti Party (RKP), with the BJP a few months ago in the run up to the 2014 Lok Sabha polls.
