There is nothing greater than adivasi asmita (tribal self- respect) for me or any other tribal leader, no party or post or anything," he said. New Delhi/Ranchi, Aug. 11: State BJP chief Tala Marandi feels humiliated over the events of the last few days, but insists there is nothing more important than tribal self-respect. Tribal MLAs of the BJP also met Das and governor Droupadi Murmu to voice their concerns. Marandi did not reveal details of the talks, but the BJP is yet to accept his resignation. BJP sources claimed that under Das's opposition, the party shelved the list of new office bearers declared by Marandi on Sunday.
