BJP Warned: Leader Threatens to Support Independent Candidates if Party Fails to Address UGC Rollback Demands

Kiran Shekhawat said that if the BJP does not take the issue of UGC rollback and the demands of the society seriously, then the people of the society can opt to vote against the BJP. He said that candidates supporting UGC rollback can be considered for their support even if they are independents. During the interaction, Kiran Shekhawat expressed his displeasure over the ticket distribution policy of the BJP. He alleged that workers and their families who have worked for the party for 40 years are also being kept away from tickets, while new people are being given preference. He questioned why the picture of ticket contenders on the ground is different if the BJP talks about giving tickets to workers and claims not to give tickets to office bearers. He warned the BJP that the party should not predict easy wins on all seats. The role of the UGC rollback strategy can also be seen in supporting independent candidates.
