The Bharatiya Janata Party has expelled another seven candidates for defying the party line, raising the tally of expelled rebels in Rajasthan to 48.
The Rajasthan unit of the Bharatiya Janata Party announced on Wednesday that seven more aspirants who contested elections against the official party ticket have been expelled. The move follows a series of disciplinary actions taken by the party against members who ran as independents or joined rival alliances.
Party officials said the expulsions are part of a broader effort to enforce discipline ahead of the upcoming state assembly polls. They added that any candidate who violates the party's directives will face strict sanctions, including removal from all party positions.
With the latest seven, the total number of rebels expelled from the BJP in Rajasthan now stands at 48, reflecting a significant internal crackdown as the party seeks to present a united front in the forthcoming elections.
