: A P J Abdul Kalam's grandnephew on Monday resigned from the BJP, upset over -"failure-" of the Modi government to convert the residence occupied by the former President into a knowledge centre.
A P J Syed Haja Ibrahim, who had joined BJP in 2012, resigned as Vice President of the minority wing of Tamil Nadu unit of BJP and the party's primary membership.
-"It (setting up a knowledge centre) was the wish of not only the former President, but the entire nation. I am resigning my post as this centre has not been set up despite repeated requests. I am also resigning from the primary membership of BJP,-" he told PTI.
The No 10 Rajaji Marg bungalow in Delhi, occupied by Kalam till his death in July, has been allotted to Union Culture Minister Mahesh Sharma, a move which had drawn flak from various quarters. Delhi's ruling AAP had also criticised the government decision.
