BJP MP Savitribai Phule resigned from the primary membership of the party on Thursday, saying it was playing "divisive politics" and was misusing money to construct temples and statues."

The Dalit MP from Bahraich, who has long been critical of the party's leadership and resigned on the death anniversary of B R Ambedkar, said she wants to get the Constitution implemented in letter and spirit. "I have resigned from the party. But I will continue as a Lok Sabha member till the end of my tenure," Phule said.
