| BJP expels woman cadre after picture goes viral | | Woh Kon Thi! | | Early Times Report
jammu, Apr 5: The Bharatiya Janta Party has expelled one of its party activists from central Kashmir's Ganderbal district after her picture went viral on the social media.
In the purported picture, the women activist was seen sitting close to a man who "claims to be social activist."
Sources said the said man had told the woman that he had selected her for "services run by him."
In the picture the woman activist was seen leaning towards the lap of the "self-styled social activist" who was posing like a godman and giving her his blessings.
As the picture went viral on the social media, sources said the BJP leadership started getting targeted with many seeking explanations if the self-styled person in question was also from the right wing party.
The party, however, instantly clarified that the man was not linked to the BJP and that the woman has been expelled from the party for her "anti party activities."
The BJP leaders, however, downplayed the issue saying that she was expelled for "indiscipline". A BJP leader from Ganderbal said the said woman was even not a formal member of the state chapter of the party but that she was "distantly associated" with the party activities in district Ganderbal alone.
Sources said the party has cautioned its cadres in Kashmir to refrain from any such activity which affects the image of the party or goes against the interests of the BJP.
Sources said the woman in question was in league with a group which wants to "grab funds meant for a religious pilgrimage."
It was reliably learnt that the party has launched an informal probe to verify "if any other cadres from the party were also in touch with the self-styled social activist who was trying to malign image of the party."
A BJP leader from Ganderbal confirmed to the Early Times that the woman has been expelled and that she was "no more associated with the party in any capacity." |
