Many workers decide not to vote for BJP in by-election
The BJP’s decision to field Sharanu Salagar, a Lingayat leader from Kalaburagi, in the Basavakalyan by-election, ignoring the 16 local aspirants, has triggered dissent within the party ranks. As the news of Mr. Salagar’s selection was out late on Thursday, party workers held flash protests in Basavakalyan town condemning the decision. They burnt tyres at Haralayya Circle, Tripuranta Circle and Ambedkar Circle.More Related News
