Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) activists in the Shirur Lok Sabha (LS) constituency have demanded the end of the coalition with Ajit Pawar-led Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) in the upcoming state assembly elections.
The BJP held a review meeting with party workers from Shirur LS constituency on Thursday, which was attended by Member of Legislative Assembly (MLA) Rahul Kuru and party OBC (Other Backward Classes) leader Yogesh Tillekar.
BJP district vice-president Sudarshan Chaudhary questioned the alliance. Chaudhary’s speech has gone viral on social media. In the video, Chaudhary says, “Ajit Pawar has done injustice to BJP activists and leaders in the district. We have been fighting against him all this time and now we are being forced to campaign for him.”
“Why should we be forced to work for him and make him a patron minister again? When our leaders went to collect funds, he refused to give them. He even prevented a BJP MP from getting a ministerial post,” Chaudhary said.
In the video, Chaudhary’s speech can be seen receiving rapturous applause from party workers.
