The BJP on Sunday accused the IAS officers who resigned from their posts and cited the shrinking space for dissent and debate in the country as she accused them of sharing a cosy relationship with the Left.

BJP General Secretary (Organisation) B L Santhosh took to the micro-blogging site and wrote, "Three IAS Officers resigned from their positions just because a thought process other than that they were infected with moves on in the country with a full mandate. Imagine the intolerance of Left, a liberal ecosystem with whom they share a cosy relationship. Nation understands you perfectly."
