Nineteen BJP leaders are contesting either as Independents or on the Congress symbol in the Gujarat Assembly elections, after officially an effort was made to convince them to withdraw, but there was no arm-twisting or pressure to make retire from the race.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has suspended twelve rebels in disciplinary action, who had filed their nominations as independent candidates after being denied tickets by the ruling party in the upcoming Gujarat Assembly elections.
The BJP leadership is believed to have taken the action after the twelve suspended rebels filed their nominations as independent candidates after being denied tickets by the ruling party in the upcoming Gujarat Assembly elections.
