Kushwaha write Gadkari to put his BJP membership on hold

Expelled Tainted former Bahujan Samaj Party leader Babu Singh Kushwaha, who was recently inducted in the Bharatiya Janata Party, has written letter to party president Nitin Gadkari to put his membership on hold till he is proved innocent of the corruption allegations.   "Till the time, the allegations against me are proved, I will keep the BJP membership on hold," he said in a letter written in Hindi. "I am confident of my innocence," Kushwaha said. "I am ready for probe by any agency and I have not been charged by any court of law. I don't have a criminal history," he added.
The decision is particularly illtimed, given that the BJP is fighting with corruption as its main plank in the upcoming elections not just in the politically-crucial Uttar Pradesh but in all the other four states.
