BJP Suspends Members in Maharashtra

In Maharashtra, the BJP has taken strict action against some of its members.

In Latur, 18 members were suspended for six years because they were going to run in the city elections without the party's support.

In Nashik, 60 members were expelled for similar reasons.

The BJP says these members were not following the party's rules and their actions were hurting the party.

The elections for 29 city councils in Maharashtra, including Latur and Nashik, are happening on January 15.

The BJP's local leaders said that the party always puts the organization's interests first.
