Parmar was denied the ticket for the assembly bypoll from Fatehpur in Kangra district. Similarly some other senior party leaders in Solan, Jubbal and Mandi, seeking tickets were dropped by the leadership causing much humiliation to them.Parmar posted his resignation letter, addressed to state party president Suresh Kashyap, on Facebook. Taking to the Twitter, Parmar wrote : “I, Kripal Parmar, vice-president, Himachal BJP, am sending my resignation from the party post. Kindly accept it. I will explain the reason in separate letters.” Parmar said that for the last four years, he had been continuously ignored in the BJP and he could no longer bear it.
