After blaming Rahul ‘coterie’, Congman joins Maya’s party

Mayawati also appointed the forty-six-year-old leader as the BSP’s national general secretary.

Besides Das, former MLC and AICC member Siraj Mehndi and some of his supporters also joined BSP.

On Tuesday, Das resigned from the Congress as well as the Rajya Sabha blaming the ‘coterie’ around Rahul Gandhi, a charge dismissed by the Congress.

Das, who was recently dropped from the Union Council of Ministers, had said that he had no ‘faith in the Congress party’.
