Shekhar announces the decision in a Facebook post on Monday, describing his resignation as a response to the criticism and the political fallout around the issue.
In his post, Shekhar says he submits his resignation to Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma and to the BJP’s state president. The reports presented focus on the timing and the steps he takes within party structures after raising objections to how the party handles the matter involving Zubeen Garg.
Across the coverage provided here, the core points remain consistent: Shekhar’s resignation is linked to his public criticism of a BJP MLA, and he formally communicates it to senior BJP and state leadership in Assam. No additional differing details are included in the sources shared.
