Delhi minister Rajendra Pal Gautam on Sunday resigned from his post, amid a controversy over his presence at a re♍ligious conversion event where Hindu deities were allegedly denounced.
The BJP had attacked him and the Aam Aadmi Party after a video went viral showing him attending thℱe event on Octobꦏer 5 where hundreds took a pledge to convert to Buddhism and not consider Hindu deities as gods.
He had accused the BJP of spreading "rumours" ไagainst him and had apologised to "anyone who has been hurt due to such propaganda".
In a le👍tter shared on Twitter, he said that he has resig▨ned.
"I do not want my leader Shri Arvind Kejriwal or the party 🌞to be in any trouble because of me. I am a true solider of the p💝arty and I will follow the ideals shown by Baba Saheb Ambedkar and Gautam Buddh throughout my entire life," he said.
