All's not well with the BJP in Palamu's Hussainabad assemblyconstituency. 

The first bugle of revolt against the party has come from a veteran BJP leader Vinod Singh. He is a respected and valued leader. 

Speaking to this correspondent today Vinod Singh said "I will contest the vidhan sabha election from Hussainabad. I will contest as an Independent."

He said "This is the decision and desire of my thousands of workers, supporters and well wishers. They have asked me to fight as an Independent. I am bound to obey the sentiments of my people."

Vinod Singh sounded very peeved when he said "The honourable outgoing MLA Kamlesh Kumar Singh of the NCP Ajit Pawar's group was inducted into the BJP fold. There is no harm in it. Let BJP expand and expand."

"But a man who is in the BJP for just 12 days has been made an official candidate for the Hussainabad seat while dedicated man like me working for the good and betterment of the BJP over the last many decades, has been cast away. This is not acceptable" said Vinod Singh. 

Asked he runs the threat of the  imminent expulsion from the BJP, pat came the reply from Vinod Singh "Who bothers for it. I am ready. The BJP is most free to take a call in my case. I am not upset."

Again asked that fighting assembly election as an Independent is a big challenging task where men and money matter most to which Vinod Singh said "My people are my men. They are ready to manage it. I have no worry about men and money."

Will Muslims come to you?  Vinod Singh said "They are with me.  Their blessings are always with me. There is no problem at all."
