PTI, CHANDIGARH: Haryana BJP leader Suraj Pal Amu, who reportedly offered a Rs 10 crore bounty for beheading “Padmavati” actor Deepika Padukone and director Sanjay Leela Bhansali, today resigned as the chief media coordinator of the state unit of the party.
The resignation comes days after the Haryana unit of the party served a show cause notice to him seeking explanation over his controversial remarks. In his resignation letter which he forwarded to state BJP chief Subhash Barala over WhatsApp, Amu stated that he was upset over Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar allegedly skipping a meeting with representatives of the Karni Sena yesterday.
Though the chief minister’s schedule did not specify any such appointment, the Rajput leader maintained that he had given time for a meeting. Rajput groups have been protesting against the period
drama “Padmavati” alleging that it distorts historical facts. Amu stated in his resignation letter that he had worked with full dedication for the party over the past few years, but felt that “CM Khattar does not need dedicated workers and office bearers. Khattar is surrounded by a coterie which is taking him away from dedicated workers for the last three years.”
