Kirpal Parmar’s supporters protest against the BJP for denying him the ticket for the Fatehpur Assembly byelection.
NURPUR, OCTOBER 7
The BJP cadre in Fatehpur today revolted after the party denied ticket to state BJP vice-president Kirpal Parmar, who was the frontrunner. The Fatehpur BJP mandal president, BJP-supported chairman and vice-chairman, besides 40 pradhans, up-pradhans and members of the panchayat samiti of Fatehpur resigned in protest.
Parmar, who unsuccessfully contested the last Assembly election from Fatehpur, had been active in his constituency for the past about four years. He has a grip on the BJP mandal and has a good support among the elected representatives of the panchayati raj institutions.
Meanwhile, Parmar held a closed-door meeting with his supporters. Talking to mediapersons, Parmar said he had full faith in the party leadership and was expecting a change in the candidate. “I will wait for the party’s decision till Friday and take next action after consulting party workers,” he said.—OC
