MUMBAI: Late on Tuesday, BJP expelled 40 office-bearers from constituencies where the party and its allies have fielded candidates. The party, while releasing the list of those expelled, including two from Jogeshwari East and Magathane, said the action was taken for violating party discipline and acting against the organisation.
Jogeshwari East and Magathane are being contested by Sena. Such expulsions generally last six years.
BJP faced large-scale rebellion against its candidates and those of allies, with nearly 10 party workers, including former MP Gopal Shetty and a number of sitting and former MLAs, filing their nominations. The party got many of them to withdraw from the race.
Meanwhile, newly appointed city BJP VP Ravi Raja sought the disqualification of Sion-Koliwada Congress candidate Ganesh Yadav for misusing his photos to seek votes. Raja recently quit Congress after he was denied a ticket for the seat.
