Big embarrassment for BJP, Senior leader rebels

Upset over not being allowed to contest the upcoming Lok Sabha polls from his home constituency, senior BJP leader Jaswant Singh is likely to resign from the party tomorrow, sources have said.

Expressing his disappointment over the party's decision, an emotional Mr Singh told today, "My honour cannot be subject to trading." He broke down while speaking as he added that "there has been an encroachment upon BJP's ideology."

Mr Singh, 76, wanted to contest what is likely to be his last election, from Barmer, the constituency in Rajasthan where he was born. But the BJP ignored his request and instead decided to field Colonel (Retd) Sona Ram Choudhary, a former Congressman who recently joined the party.
