BJP's Jayant Sinha opts out of Lok Sabha polls to prioritise climate change battle

Former Union Minister and BJP MP from Hazaribagh Jayant Sinha on Saturday asked BJP president JP Nadda to relieve him of his electoral duties, saying he wanted to focus on combating climate change in India and around the world. 

Sinha's announcement came hours after another party leader, Gautam Gambhir, made a similar appeal to JP Nadda.
