JAMMU, Mar 24: Former Chief Secretary and senior National Conference leader, BR Kundal today resigned from the party, saying he has found himself “totally redundant” in the NC and nobody ever thought of utilising his services for anything.
Kundal, who has served as the Member of Legislative Council (MLC) and a minister in Ghulam Nabi Azad’s led PDP-Congress coalition in 2008, joined the NC in March 2019 after parting ways with the Congress, which he had joined after his retirement from the Government service.
“I am on the horns of dilemma regarding my association with the NC. Circumstances/promise under which I associated myself with said political party never saw the light of the day,” Kundal said in his letter addressed to party president Farooq Abdullah.
Reminding Abdullah of his announcement of fielding him from the Jammu-Poonch Parliamentary Constituency on the day of his joining the NC, Kundal said, “Because of reasons better known to your good-self, the said Parliamentary seat under some understanding was given to the INC, and since then lot of water has flown down the river Tawi.
“Over a period of time, I have found myself totally redundant and nobody ever thought of utilising my services for anything. So, to keep my association with the NC is absolutely meaningless,” he said in his letter.
