India, March 19 -- Union minister and Rashtriya Lok Janshakti Party (RLJP) president Pashupati Kumar Paras on Tuesday resigned from the Modi cabinet, alleging "injustice" after his party was not included in the seat-sharing deal for the Lok Sabha polls in Bihar.

RLJP was part of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) but was not given any seats in the upcoming general elections.

"Injustice has been done to us and our party. Therefore, I resign from the post of Union minister," he said.
