Lucknow: Apna Dal chief and minister in Modi cabinet, Anupriya Patel has announced to quit alliance with the Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) on Thursday night. The Apna Dal chief accused the BJP leadership of not extending due respect to her party in the state.

Apna Dal had contested 2014 Lok Sabha elections in alliance with the BJP winning two seats – Mirzapur and Pratapgarh. The party has a base among OBC communities in Varanasi and adjoining areas of Uttar Pradesh.

“Apna Dal has been fulfilling the alliance dharma with all sincerity and honesty. But the BJP leadership has failed to extend due respect to us,” said Anupriya Patel who is the minister of state for health in the union cabinet.

The Apna Dal chief said that she had given time to BJP leadership for course correction.
