Brishen Patel quits the party HAM

Brishen Patel quits the party(HAM) due to differences with Party President Jitan Ram Manjhi. He said he remains with the grand alliance.

After resigning from the party Hindustani Awam Morcha, he expressed his displeasure over Manjhi's stand over the Centre-West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee row.HAM is the only opposition party that did not support Banerjee's protest in Kolkata.

"At a time when all parties have supported Mamata Banerjee, Manjhi stated that she should not have staged a dharna against the CBI. It was not the right statement," Patel said.

Patel, a former minister, also questioned Manjhi's reported statement that HAM would attend BJP-led NDA's rally in Patna on March 3 if the BJP accepted its demands.

Patel, however, made it clear that he remained with the Grand Alliance

According to the sources the party is about to split as several leaders are set to resign.
