Jaswant not quitting yet, to file nomination from Barmer

Jodhpur: Upset over denial of ticket, former Union Minister and BJP veteran Jaswant Singh today said he has decided to contest the Lok Sabha elections as an independent from the Barmer seat and will file

Slamming the BJP President's remarks that the party will compensate him after the elections, Singh said, “I reject the thought and I reject the mentality behind it.

Assumption is that they shall form the government and offer me some throttle. They can keep it for themselves”.  
He said the “thoughts behind these chain of words are full of arrogance and disrespect”.

On posters of Narendra Modi being torn up by Jaswant Singh's supporters in Rajasthan, the former Union Minister said, “If the posters are being torn up, then I think the party has to reflect deeply why is this happening”.

Singh said, “Throughout my political life I have worked for the welfare of the party according to what situations demand. I do not approve adjustment politics”.
