BJP councillors lodge protest against ‘harsh’ ticket denial

Expressing grievance about the fact that all these councillors had even helped the MPs get elected, one angry councillor said, “We left all our works to campaign for them. Now, to secure seats for their own people, they have taken this decision. This does not seem right. We will speak to the top leadership about it,” said a senior councillor. He elaborated on how the first time MPs did not even know the roads and lanes in their constituencies.

However, few kept their guards up and refused to join the chorus. “We are furious but party’s decision is supreme. If a decision is taken, all we are left to do is support it,” said a councillor. They are planning to meet Union Minister Nitin Gadkari on Wednesday to make him aware of their grievances.
