Dissent Brews in Karnataka BJP as 'Immigrant' MLAs and Loyalists Vie for Bypoll tickets

[scorpionking76]

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has been struck by a problem of plenty in Karnataka. It managed to wrest power in the southern state by engineering defections from rival parties, but now infighting and dissension has gripped it from within. By-elections to 15 constituencies, where legislators had defected, are due in a month and nominations have to be filed by September 30. The BJP has decided to field the same candidates (the MLAs disqualified by the-then Speaker) or their family members in all constituencies, but there is anger simmering within its own cadre.

Those leaders of the BJP who lost to these MLAs in the 2018 polls are unhappy that they are being sidelined, and that their loyalty to the party has so far not been recognised.

Politics means power and power means politics

Wasn't expect that the tug and war between political parties are so high in South.

Fight in the party is common everywhere.
