Popular YouTuber Manish Kashyap has officially resigned from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), announcing his decision during a Facebook Live session. In an emotional address, Kashyap declared that he is no longer an active member of the party.

“I couldn’t protect myself while being in the BJP. How can I help others?” he said, explaining his reasons for stepping away. Kashyap hinted at feeling let down by the party and suggested that his role within it had become ineffective.

He also stated that he would now continue raising his voice through other platforms and in different ways. Without giving specifics, Kashyap subtly hinted at the possibility of contesting in the upcoming assembly elections, suggesting a shift toward a more direct political engagement.

Last month, Manish Kashyap was allegedly beaten by some junior doctors at Patna Medical College and Hospital (PMCH) after an altercation with them.
