Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose’s Grandnephew Resigns From BJP

Chandra Kumar Bose, the grandnephew of Subhas Chandra Bose, on Wednesday quit the Bharatiya Janata Party, saying that he could not work with the party “under present circumstances” and that it is going on the “wrong track” in West Bengal, The Indian Express reported.

“I gave a lot of proposals to the party on how we should work which were not accepted,” he said. “The party is moving on the wrong track in [West] Bengal. There is polarisation, vote-bank politics and divisive politics that ruined our chances.”

Chandra Kumar Bose said that his principles are in line with his grandfather Sarath Chandra Bose and his younger brother Subhash Chandra Bose.
