Despite opposition from several BJP leaders, Joshi decided to resign.

Leaking information to media causes damage not only to the concerned individual but also to the party.

I hope the new party president would do something about it when he takes over, that he will talk about the farmers.

Joshi has said that the audio cassettes earlier and the CD were being circulated with the intention of damaging the party's reputation. Those who are being the circulation of the CDs should be found and the conspiracy unearthed.

There is absolutely no question of his stepping down as the leader of opposition. We have accepted his desire to leave the party chief's post.

The governor is a self-condemned man before the nation.

The Governor's decision to allow him (Singh) this much time is undemocratic. Also, it may give the Congress an ample amount of time to attempt horse-trading. Therefore, we want that the vote should be held tomorrow itself.

If not tomorrow, it (the government) will go on January 27.

He will continue as Leader of the Opposition. He will complete his full tenure.
