BJP Ticket Aspirant Arjun Khataria Faces Disqualification Due to Previous Congress Tenure

RAJKOT, DECEMBER 9: Arjun Khataria, who sought a BJP ticket from the Kotdasangani reserved seat of the zilla panchayat for more than three terms, has won 4 consecutive terms from the Congress. He joined the Congress 3 years ago. The BJP high command has counted his Congress tenure, so as of this afternoon, his name is on the list of ticket aspirants. If no exception is made at the last moment, he will not be able to contest as a BJP candidate. Political circles are looking towards the final decision of the parliamentary board. This situation has arisen only in one of the 36 seats of the Rajkot zilla panchayat. If the BJP does not contest Khataria, the BJP may give a ticket to someone else from the Khataria family.
