Dissent within Haryana BJP: Poll Ticket Turmoil

The ruling BJP in Haryana is experiencing dissatisfaction from some leaders regarding poll ticket distribution. Notably, Karan Dev Kamboj claims that Chief Minister Nayab Saini had limited influence in the process. The dissent has led to resignations and public discontent among party members, posing challenges for the upcoming Assembly polls.

The ruling BJP in Haryana is grappling with internal dissent over poll ticket distribution. Karan Dev Kamboj, a former state minister, has voiced concerns claiming that Chief Minister Nayab Saini had little input in the ticket allocation process. This, he argues, has led to the omission of deserving candidates.

Kamboj, who stepped down last week as the state unit's OBC Morcha chief after being denied a ticket, asserts that numerous long-standing party members were overlooked in favor of new entrants and turncoats. This discord has led to significant resignations within the party, including state ministers and MLAs.

The BJP, seeking a third consecutive win in the Haryana Assembly polls, now faces the formidable challenge of addressing internal rifts and countering a revitalized Congress party. The election results, to be announced on October 8, will determine if the party's strategy pays off.
