State BJP chief Laxman Giluwa resigns after poll debacle

| @indiablooms | Dec 25, 2019, at 10:32 pm

Ranchi/UNI: State BJP President Laxman Giluwa on Wednesday resigned from his post following the party's ouster from power in Jharkhand.

Giluwa sent his resignation on Wednesday evening to party's national president Amit Shah.

His resignation is the third big wicket to fall in BJP's state unit after the party fell well short of the majority number of 41 and managed to get only 25 seats.

Giluwa lost from the Chakardharpur seat by JMM's Sukhram Oraon seats by a margin of 12234 votes in the just-concluded assembly polls.

Earlier in the year, he lost 2019 Lok Sabha elections from the West Singhbhum seat.

Jharkhand Assembly Speaker Dinesh Oraon and Chief Minister Raghubar Das also resigned from their posts from their respective seats following their defeat in the elections
