Ahead of the Assembly polls in Rajasthan, former Union minister Jaswant Singh's son and BJP MLA Manvendra Singh Saturday said he has quit the party.
He announced the decision at a press conference after addressing a rally at Pachpadra in his Barmer constituency.
He said he was yet to take a decision on whether to join the Congress or not.
At the rally, he indicated that joining the Bharatiya Janata Party was a "big mistake".
Kamal ka phool, badi bhool, he said.
When contacted by PTI after the public meeting, dubbed swabhiman or self-respect rally, he said, I am no longer in BJP.
Earlier, the MLA referred to the denial of a party ticket to his father Jaswant Singh in the 2014 Lok Sabha election.
