THE JHARKHAND STORY DESK
Ranchi, May 21: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has issued a show cause notice to former Union Minister and MP Jayant Sinha, citing his lack of interest in organizational work and election campaigning since the party nominated Manish Jaiswal as the candidate for the Hazaribagh Lok Sabha seat.
The notice from the Jharkhand unit of the BJP stated, “You are not taking any interest in organisational work and election campaigning ever since the party declared Manish Jaiswal as the candidate from the Hazaribag Lok Sabha seat. You did not even feel the need to exercise your vote. The party’s image has been maligned because of your conduct.”

“As per the instructions of State President Shri Babulal Marandi ji, you are requested to give clarification in this regard within 2 days,” the notice added.
BJP leader Jayant Sinha has recently joined the ranks of leaders who have opted not to contest in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.
Jayant Sinha is the son of former Finance Minister and Trinamool Congress leader Yashwant Sinha.
The Hazaribag MP has previously expressed his request to the party president JP Nadda to be relieved of direct electoral responsibilities in order to prioritize his efforts in combating climate change.
