I was mentally tortured in BJP: Karuna Shukla
29 Oct 2013 5:19 AM IST
A day after resigning from the BJP, former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s niece Karuna Shukla on Sunday alleged that she had been ‘mentally tortured’ by the party in Chhattisgarh.
‘I feel that the BJP in Chhattisgarh was mentally torturing me because of which I felt that my usefulness to the party had come to an end,’ Shukla, an ex-MP from Janjgir and former member of the undivided Madhya Pradesh Assembly, said.
She had resigned on Saturday from the BJP, alleging that she was being ‘continuously neglected’ by senior leaders. She said her resignation from the party had nothing to do with seeking a ticket from Beltara (in Chhattisgarh) seat for next month’s assembly elections.
‘Every party worker has a right to ask for an election ticket but not much importance can be attached to whether he gets it or not,’ said Shukla, also a former national president of BJP mahila morcha.
She alleged that she was removed from all posts that she had in the party and was not consulted for anything.
