Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) MP Ritesh Pandey on Sunday resigned from the party and joined BJP. He was one of the eight MPs who was surprised by PM Modi for the lunch in the Parliament canteen.

Pandey has said that his party does not need him any more as he has not been called for any meetings for a long time. He further alleged that the BSP supremo Mayawati has also not spoken to him for a long time.

The development comes days after Pandey met the Prime Minister over lunch, along with seven other opposition MPs in the Parliament canteen. After the lunch, he took to X and shared the picture with PM Modi and said it was truly an honour to be invited by PM Modi for lunch and learn how he used his insights from the 2001 Bhuj Earthquake to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. He thanked Modi for having them over. What an insightful discussion, he wrote.

Sharing his resignation on X, he wrote, “For a long time, neither am I being called to attend party meetings nor has the party leadership spoken to me. I made numerous efforts to get in touch with and meet you (Mayawati) and the top leadership of the party but it did not yield any result,” Pandey added in the resignation letter.

During this time, Pandey continuously met workers and supporters of other parties in his area and was also involved in various works going on in the constituency. Hence, he has come to the conclusion that the party does not need his service and presence, he further added.
