I was not invited to any party events, rallies, or organizational meetings. “If Shri Babu Lal Marandi ji wanted me to participate, he could have certainly called me. But he did not,” he added.He further said that he left India on May 10 to attend to some pressing personal commitments overseas. He alleged that the party did not ask him to participate in any events, so he saw no reason to stay. But before leaving India, he sent his vote through the postal ballot process. Therefore, it is wrong for the party to allege that he did not exercise his responsibility to vote.
