Senior Bharatiya Janata Party (#BJP) leader and former Union Minister #DrHarshVardhan on Sunday, March 3, announced that he is quitting #politics to return to his roots (medical profession).

Harsh Vardhan, an MP from Delhi’s Chandni Chowk, took the decision after the party denied him a ticket from his constituency.

Taking to x, Vardhan wrote, “After over thirty years of a glorious electoral career, during which I won all the five assembly and two parliamentary elections that I fought with exemplary margins, and held a multitude of prestigious positions in the party organisation and the governments at the state and centre I finally bow out to return to my roots (sic).”
