RAIPUR, JAN. 15. In an embarrassment to the BJP, the senior leader from Chhattisgarh, Sant Kumar Netam, today resigned from the party, accusing its leaders of having ``utilised'' him to file a ``false complaint'' with the National Commission for Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe against the tribal status of the Chief Minister, Ajit Jogi.

``The BJP misused my name as I was a party member and I was pressurised to file a false, wrong and baseless complaint with the SC, ST Commission against Mr. Jogi that he is not a tribal,'' Mr. Netam said.
