In a shocking turn of events, Mundhe, a prominent BJP member, has accused BJP MLAs of favoring newer party members over long-serving supporters. He claimed that office-bearers were being appointed to strengthen personal support bases, while ignoring those who have been loyal to the party for years. Mundhe alleged that development funds were being funneled into areas represented by new BJP members, leaving long-term supporters feeling neglected.
Adding fuel to the fire, Mundhe criticized sitting legislator Shirole for failing to secure funds or initiate significant projects in the Shivajinagar constituency over the past five years, leading to stalled development in the area.
In a bold move, Mundhe announced his resignation from all party posts, citing a lack of space for individuals like himself within the party. Despite being a staunch supporter of PM Modi, Mundhe felt compelled to step down due to the current state of affairs within the BJP. He has reportedly sent his resignation to top party leaders, including Prime Minister Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah.
Meanwhile, former corporator Amol Balwadkar has also expressed his dissatisfaction with the BJP leadership. Balwadkar, who is seeking a BJP ticket to contest from Kothrud, claimed that he was sidelined by party leaders after declaring his intention to run for the Assembly elections. Kothrud is currently represented by State Minister Chandrakant Patil, adding another layer of complexity to the situation.
The turmoil within the BJP continues to unfold, with prominent members speaking out against the party leadership and raising concerns about the direction in which the party is headed. Stay tuned for more updates as this story develops.
