JD(U) leader KC Tyagi on Sunday resigned from the post of party spokesperson but will continue with the party as its political advisor. In his resignation letter addressed to JD(U) president and Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, Tyagi said he took the decision due to his inability to fully devote himself to the post of spokesperson due to other personal commitments. “I request you to relieve me from the post (of party’s national spokesperson) as I have not been able to do justice to the post due to my preoccupation with other assignments,” the letter said.
Tyagi has been a prominent figure in Indian politics since 1974 and has served as an Upper House MP and Chairman of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Industry.
while talking to YearSenior leader KC Tyagi stressed his commitment to Nitish Kumar and the party. “I am still with the party. I am a political advisor to the party. I have a political commitment to Nitish Kumar. I am neither upset, nor frustrated or disappointed. I am happy. I have resigned from the post of party spokesperson, not from the party… I wrote a letter to Nitish Kumar yesterday, he called me and urged me to continue as a party advisor,” Tyagi clarified.
After Tyagi’s resignation, Rajiv Ranjan Prasad was appointed the new spokesperson of JD(U).
Addressing the media, Prasad termed Tyagi’s resignation as due to “personal reasons” and denied any dissent on Tyagi’s part. “He (KC Tyagi) has resigned due to personal reasons. He is a senior leader of the party and is with the party,” Prasad said.
Speaking to ANI after his appointment, Rajiv Ranjan said, “As far as my appointment is concerned, whatever responsibility the party has given me in the past, I have honestly fulfilled it.
He said, “I am grateful to the Chief Minister of Bihar and the national president of the party Nitish Kumar. I will undoubtedly try to live up to the expectations of the party with full sincerity… He (KC Tyagi) has not written any such letter. He (KC Tyagi) has not shown any such resentment in that letter and in fact, he (KC Tyagi) has also reiterated his resolve to keep contributing from time to time….”
