New Delhi, Mar 2: Former minister and BJP MP from Hazaribagh Jayant Sinha on Saturday expressed desire not to contest the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, saying he wants to focus on combating climate change in India and around the world.
In a post on X, he said he has “requested” party president J P Nadda to relieve him of “direct electoral duties” so he can focus “efforts on combating global climate change in Bharat and around the world.” “Of course, I will continue to work with the party on economic and governance issues,” he said.
“I have had the privilege of serving the people of Bharat and Hazaribagh for the past ten years. Moreover, I have been blessed by the many opportunities provided by Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi ji, Hon’ble Home Minister Shri @AmitShah ji, and the BJP leadership. My sincerest gratitude to all of them. Jai Hind!” he said in his post.
