“As you are aware, in view of my decision to take a temporary break from active role in public life, I have not been able to take over the responsibilities as your Principal Advisor. Since I am yet to decide on my future course of action, I write to request you to kindly relieve me from this responsibility.”

  • In 2021, in an interview, he declared his resignation as a political strategist. He further added,

“ I do not want to continue what I am doing. I have done enough. Time for me to take a break and do something else in life. I want to quit this space.”

“If he was to prepare and help only in election management, then taking the membership of the party was not required at all. The very fact that he has joined our party clearly signals the possibility of him contesting elections. Nitish, though, has left it to him.”
