Computer Baba, one of the five sadhus that were recently accorded the status of minister in Madhya Pradesh, announced his resignation on Monday.
Within minutes, he backtracked, saying he had not quit yet, that he was only disappointed with the same government that had given him a job. However, finally, in the evening, he declared that he had resigned from the post.
Apparently, he was seen annoyed with the State government for announcing formation of Cow Ministry in the State. While talking to media persons, he asked, "Why only a cow ministry? A Narmada ministry is important too.”
Later in the evening, he was back to saying he had no choice but to quit a government that cannot take care of the cow, his flip-flop proving he is no longer a greenhorn in politics in the state where elections are due in the year-end.
"Our Sant Samaj decides everything and they told me I had not been able to get the Shivraj Singh Chouhan government to do anything. They are right. So what is the point of being a part of the government? I had no choice but to quit from such a government," said the Baba.
