“Sanjay Jaiswal, state’s BJP president has lied a lot… I’ve been struggling since I was 18 yrs of age… I knew that anything can happen in this fight… people took the decision they wanted to make, I’ll keep working for the people,” he added.
When asked about his resignation from the ministerial post, the VIP chief said that his resignation is the prerogative of CM Nitish Kumar, so he will do as he says.
“CM Nitish Kumar has to decide who will be a minister in his government. Remove me if you want,” he said.
