The BJP received a major jolt in Hyderabad ahead of GHMC elections. BJP former Maharajgunj MLA Prem Singh Rathore on Thursday resigned from the party in protest against the party allotting tickets to defectors from other parties while ignoring genuine BJP leaders and activists.
Rathore alleged that BJP leaders sold GHMC party tickets. He said those who defected from Congress and other parties recently into BJP were allotted GHMC tickets.
Union minister Bandaru Dattatreya tried to convince Rathore to withdraw his resignation. But Rathore refused to oblige and quit the party.
He told Dattatreya that some BJP leaders were damaging the party for their selfish interests and unable to bear this he left the party.
Rathore earlier also worked as Hyderabad city BJP president.
