Lucknow: Ahead of Uttar Pradesh Polls, another sitting minister in incumbent government here has declared his resignation. A day after Uttar Pradesh minister SP Maurya tendered his resignation to join the Samajwadi Party (SP), State minister, Dara Singh Chauhan, has also resigned from the Yogi Adityanath cabinet in a telling move ahead of the forthcoming UP assembly elections.
In his resignation letter, Chauhan mentioned that he was quitting the ministry because of the government’s “neglectful attitude” towards the backward classes, the underprivileged, the Dalits, the farmers, and the unemployed youth.
“As minister of forest and environment in the Yogi Adityanath ministry, I have wholeheartedly worked throughout my tenure for the betterment of this department,” wrote Dara Singh Chauhan in his resignation letter, accessed by the ANI news agency on Wednesday. “However, I am hurt by the government’s neglectful attitude towards the backward classes, the underprivileged, the Dalits, the farmers, and the unemployed youth. At the same time, the matter of reservation of the Dalits and the backward classes is being toyed with; in view of this, I resign from the Uttar Pradesh ministry.”
Dara Singh Chauhan’s resignation from the Yogi cabinet could bring shock waves for the leading Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)’s poll plans, especially since the latest development comes barely a day after state minister Swami Prasad Maurya also resigned from the Yogi Adityanath cabinet.
