BJP member Sukhdeep Chhina quit the party following the allocation of the Rajasansi Lok Sabha ticket to Sonia Mann.
BJP functionary Sukhdeep Chhina announced his resignation from the party after the Lok Sabha ticket for the Rajasansi constituency was awarded to Sonia Mann. The decision was communicated to party leadership, marking a rare public dissent over the candidate selection process.
Chhina, who has been associated with the party's grassroots activities in the region, said the ticket allocation did not reflect the preferences of local party workers. He did not provide further details on any internal discussions preceding his resignation.
The party has not yet issued an official statement regarding Chhina's departure, but sources indicate that the leadership is reviewing the impact of the resignation on its campaign strategy in Uttar Pradesh.
Sonia Mann, a former actress turned politician, is set to contest the upcoming general elections from Rajasansi. Her candidature was confirmed earlier this week, prompting mixed reactions among party cadres.
The development adds another layer of complexity to the pre‑election dynamics in the state, where candidate selections have already sparked debates within several parties.
