New Delhi: Union Minister Chaudhary Birender Singh on Sunday offered to resign from the Cabinet and also as a Rajya Member after the BJP fielded his son Brijendra Singh from the Hisar Lok Sabha constituency in Haryana.
"I thought it proper that if my son gets a nomination, I should resign from Rajya Sabha and also from the Ministry. So, I have written to (BJP President) Amit Shahji. I leave it to the party... I am ready to resign," he told reporters.
"When BJP goes for elections, they are against dynastic rule, so I thought it to be proper that if my son gets the nomination, I should resign from Rajya Sabha and Ministership. I have written to Amit Shah ji, that I leave it to the party, forthwith I am ready to resign," he said.
The announcement, made by the minister during a press conference at his official residence here, followed the selection of his son Brijendra Singh's name as the BJP candidate from Hisar in Haryana.
