NEW DELHI: Senior BJP leader Ram Jethmalani launched a scathing attack on Nitin Gadkari on Tuesday, openly challenging his continuance as party president.Calling for his immediate resignation, Jethmalani claimed that several top leaders in the party are against Nitin Gadkari continuing as party president in the wake of corruption charges against him.
He named Yashwant Sinha, Jaswant Singh and Shatrughan Sinha as leaders who shared his views that Gadkari should quit as party chief.
Ram Jethmalani claimed that the three leaders are in touch with him on the issue.
Speaking to reporters, the senior lawyer also confirmed that he had written a letter to LK Advani on behalf of party members who were against Gadkari on the issue of corruption.
Jethmalani also took potshots at Rahul Gandhi questioning his potential as a leader.
Ram Jethmalani's outbursts come a day after his son Mahesh openly revolted against Nitin Gadkari and resigned from the party's national executive.
Ram Jethmalani said that he fully endorsed the step taken by his son against the party chief and hoped that other leaders opposed to Gadkari would also come out in the open.
BJP defends Gadkari:
The Bharatiya Janata Party played down Ram Jethmalani's remark that several senior leaders within the party are unhappy with the current state of affairs and want Nitin Gadkari to quit as the president amidst allegations against him.
BJP national general secretary Vinay Katiyar said there is no dissent within the party.
"There are no differences, we are united. Ram Jethmalani's statement has no value, there is no dissent in the party," he said.
