The BJP’s Bally Assembly unit plunged into turmoil after party workers vehemently protested the nomination of Sanjay Singh, accusing him of being an “outsider.” The unrest broke out during a meeting at the local BJP office, where workers abruptly walked out and raised objections to the party’s decision.
The situation escalated further as several leaders from different blocks tendered their resignations in protest. Workers declared they would not campaign for the upcoming elections unless the candidate is replaced, warning that the party risks losing ground if the issue is ignored.
According to eyewitness accounts, the flashpoint occurred when discussions were underway at the office. As tensions rose, workers stormed out in anger while Sanjay Singh remained inside the premises throughout the chaos.
The internal rift has dealt a major blow to the party’s election preparations in the Bali constituency, raising questions about organisational unity as polling approaches.
