Internal dispute in Porbandar BJP, worker of 37 years files complaint

Long-standing dissatisfaction within the Porbandar district BJP has now come to light. According to a report by Sandesh, Kamlesh Thanki, a worker associated with the party for 37 years, has sent a written complaint to the state and national leadership expressing opposition to the functioning of the organisation.

Kamlesh Thanki has levelled serious allegations against district president Chetnaben Tiwari. In his letter, he stated that the district president's background is controversial and that her husband and family have been involved in illegal activities in the past, which is damaging the party's reputation.

Expressing his displeasure, Thanki aggressively remarked, "Kali Chaudas has passed, but those like Kali Chaudas are still seated in the Porbandar district BJP organisation." He has demanded that the central and state organisations immediately dissolve the current district structure.

He further demanded that experienced workers and leaders who have worked for the party with loyalty and honesty for years without any controversy be given appropriate responsibilities in the organisation.

The Bharatiya Janata Party is a Hindu nationalist political party of India, which has been in power since 2014 under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The party holds the ideology of Hindutva and has organisational and ideological ties with the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). It claims to be the largest political party in the world with more than 14 crore members by 2025.
