BJP functionary and former minister AK Sai J Saravanankumar has quit the national party after being denied a poll ticket for the April 9 Assembly elections.
In a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP national president Nitin Nabin, Kumar blamed local party leaders for his move, citing hostility and jealousy over his growth in the party.
He claimed that some people from alternative parties and internal party leaders denied him a ticket out of jealousy, and that he knew who worked against him to prevent a person from a lower caste from advancing in the party.
Kumar was denied a ticket to seek re-election from the Oussudu constituency, with the BJP fielding nominated legislator E Theepainthan for the polls.
