Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): Nisha Bangre, who stepped down from her position as Deputy Collector to contest in the Madhya Pradesh Assembly elections in 2023, has officially resigned from the Congress party 5 days head of Lok Sabha Polls. It is also being said that she might join BJP soon.
In her letter to Congress State President Jitu Patwari, Bangre requested to be relieved of all party duties, citing allegations of betrayal and conspiracy by the party to prevent her from contesting the elections.
In a detailed two-page letter, Bangre expressed her aspirations to represent marginalized sections of society and fulfill the vision of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar by contesting with the Congress. However, she lamented that over the past six months, she had come to believe that the party had let her down.
‘Congress lacks respect for women’
Bangre accused the Congress of lacking respect for women, citing the inadequate representation of women in the party's leadership, especially evident in the recent 2024 Lok Sabha elections in Madhya Pradesh. Feeling sidelined and disheartened by the party's actions, she expressed her desire to be released from all party obligations, vowing to dedicate her life to promoting Dr. Ambedkar's principles.
Want to return to government job: Bangre
After her disillusionment with the Congress, Bangre also expressed her intention to return to her previous government job as Deputy Collector in Chhatarpur district. She had initially left this position while serving as SDM in Lavkush Nagar, Chhatarpur district, to pursue her political ambitions. However, her resignation from the government was accepted only after the Congress had already nominated Manoj Malve as its candidate, effectively preventing her from contesting the elections.
