The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Haryana has taken disciplinary action against eight of its members by expelling them for six years. These individuals were contesting the upcoming elections as independent candidates against the party’s officially nominated candidates. The expelled members had either defied the party’s mandate or had filed nominations against the party’s chosen representatives in the upcoming municipal and local elections.

This move comes as the BJP aims to consolidate its position ahead of the polls by maintaining party discipline and ensuring that no internal factionalism hinders its performance. The party’s leadership had earlier warned that any member who contested against official candidates would face strict disciplinary action, including expulsion.

By expelling these members, the Haryana BJP seeks to send a clear message that loyalty to the party and its decisions is paramount. The decision reflects the party’s focus on unity and discipline as it navigates through the crucial election period. In a statement, the Haryana BJP leadership emphasized that actions like these are necessary to maintain the party’s organizational strength and ensure a cohesive election campaign.
The BJP is keen on avoiding any split in its vote share, especially in closely contested seats where even a small division could affect the overall result. The party believes that dissident candidates running independently could potentially split the BJP vote base, benefiting opposition parties like the Indian National Congress (INC) or the Jannayak Janta Party (JJP).
This decisive action underscores the BJP’s commitment to electoral victory by enforcing discipline and ensuring a united front in the upcoming elections.
