In a letter addressed to BJP State party President, Ravindra Raina, Mr Chhewang wrote, “I have to inform you that I am resigning from primary membership of the Bhartiya Janata Party on health grounds with immediate effect. I am also writing separately to the Hon’ble Speaker, Lok Sabha resigning as M.P from Ladakh Parliamentary constituency.”
