Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLA Narayan Tripathi on Friday quit the party formally, and said his newly floated outfit will contest the next month's Madhya Pradesh assembly elections on the plank of statehood for the Vindh region of the state.

The Vindh Janata Party (VJP), his outfit, would aim to oust the BJP from the region in the November 17 elections, he told PTI.
