Former Union Finance Minister Yashwant Sinha broke all ties with the Bharatiya Janata Party on Saturday. He announced, “I'm breaking all my relations with BJP now and I'll not take any position in the future.”
Sinha also slammed the present government for influencing the Election Commission and investigative agencies in the country, at the first convention of his newly floated Rashtriya Manch (National Forum).
Democracy in the country is in danger, he said while addressing the gathering.
Disgruntled BJP leader and party MP from Patna Sahib, Shatrughan Sinha, AAP leaders Sanjay Singh, Ashutosh, RJD leader Tejaswi Yadav, RLD leader Jayant Chaudhury-PU and others were also present at the convention.
The convention of Rashtriya Manch was going on at Sri Krishna Memorial Hall at Patna.
Rashtriya Manch is not a political platform, clarified Sinha.
