NEW DELHI: On Monday Upendra Kushwaha the RLSP leader had quit the BJP-led NDA and the Modi government, by charging the Prime Minister with betrayal against Bihar and also pursuing an "opaque style of functioning and non-democratic leadership style".
Kushwaha, had said in his resignation to Modi that the Union Cabinet "has been reduced to a mere rubber stamp".
"Constitutional offices are being undermined and virtually every institution in the government has been subjected to political appropriation. Ministers and officers posted in ministries have become figureheads as virtually all decisions are taken by you, your office and BJP President (which is anti-Constitutional). Having served in your Council of Ministers for the last 55 months, I stand dejected and betrayed by your leadership," he said in the letter sent to Modi.
He had told the media that the government has been working to the agenda of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and also that many with the RSS background had been made Vice Chancellors within the country.
