JD(U) neta quits 'to save Nitish the blushes'

PATNA: Firebrand JD(U) spokesperson Ajay Alok quit his post late on Thursday, within 24 hours of attacking Trinamool chief Mamata Banerjee and taking a dig at Union home minister Amit Shah over illegal infiltration of Rohingya Muslims into West Bengal.
In a letter addressed to party chief Nitish Kumar, Alok said he did not want to be a source of "embarrassment" to the CM. Alok, who also resigned from the post of JD(U) state general secretary, told TOI on Friday that he had resigned because there was resentment among senior leaders over his recent statement against Banerjee.
"There was resentment among a few senior leaders over my statement against Mamata in which I said she is turning West Bengal into a mini-Pakistan. I felt there was a difference of opinion between me and my party. I felt that my party was uncomfortable with my opinion even though I was only speaking about the safety of Biharis in West Bengal," Alok told TOI.
"I have resigned as a spokesperson from JD(U) as I think I am not doing good job as my views which are mine of course do not match with my party," Alok had tweeted on Thursday.
