Former Union Minister RK Singh has stepped down from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) after being suspended for alleged anti-party activities. Singh cited a lack of clarity in the show-cause notice, which he claimed did not specify the reasons for his suspension. In a resignation letter, he pointed out that the alleged anti-party activities were actually a result of his efforts to curb the criminalization of politics. Singh's resignation comes just a day after the BJP emerged as the single largest party in the Bihar assembly polls, winning 89 seats. A party statement claimed that Singh's actions were a breach of party discipline and that he was given a week to clarify his position. However, Singh's supporters argue that his stance on combating corruption and criminalization in politics was misinterpreted as anti-party rhetoric. The BJP's decision to suspend Singh has sparked debate within the party, with some questioning the motives behind the move.
