All party tickets issued for ZPM as well as GPMs for 14/8 Vijay Nagar has been withdrawn by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
This followed after organizations protested, which also included the apex students body AAPSU.
The State BJP President Biyuram Waghe wrote a letter to the District Returning Officer stating that the party has withdrawn and cancelled all tickets that were issued.
Now with last date of filing nominations being tomorrow the saffron party seems to have made a last ditch escape from embroiling itself in further controversy.
Since past few years, the disapproval of settlers (Non APSTs) of Vijaynagar from participating in the PRI elections has been still prevailing.
Adding to the flame, the BJP this time nominated one Sujata Rai(a settler)as its ZPM candidate.
Till this development, the settlers however, acting as voters and candidates were participating in the local body elections.
