Mungantiwar blames factionalism for Chandrapur setback
Sudhir Mungantiwar, a senior leader in the BJP, is upset because he thinks some people in his own party are trying to make him less important in Chandrapur.
He believes they are helping the Congress party instead.
This happened after the BJP won in some local elections, but Mungantiwar thinks his area did not do well because of these issues.
He also criticized the party for bringing in new members from other parties, which he says causes problems.
The party's leader, Devendra Fadnavis, said they will support Mungantiwar to win the next election in Chandrapur.
Sudhir Mungantiwar, a senior BJP leader, alleges factionalism within the party is undermining his political importance in Chandrapur.
He claims this factionalism is aiding the Congress party, leading to the BJP's poor performance in Chandrapur's municipal elections.
Mungantiwar criticizes the BJP's practice of inducting members from other parties, stating it emboldens factions to work against the party's interests.
The Congress party won 7 out of 11 municipal councils in Chandrapur, dealing a significant blow to the BJP.
Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis acknowledged Mungantiwar's concerns and promised to support him for the upcoming Chandrapur municipal corporation elections.
