Sahib Singh Verma resigns as BJP vice-president

Sahib Singh Verma on Thursday resigned as Bharatiya Janata Party vice-president owning responsibility for the party's debacle in the Municipal Corporation of Delhi polls.

"I have submitted my resignation to BJP president Jana Krishnamurthy," the former chief minister of Delhi said.

He denied allegations by state party leader Mange Ram Garg that it was the Centre and the Sahib Singh Verma-Madan Lal Khurana factionalism, which were responsible for the debacle in the elections.

When asked if he expected other office bearers to resign, he said: "Well, I have done it because my conscience did not allow me to continue on the post. About others I do not know."

The BJP managed only 16 seats in the 134-member body. The Congress bagged 108 seats.
