BJP Loyalists Betrayed: Sushma Andhare's Letter Exposes Worker Anguish

• Loyal BJP workers are deeply angered by the party sidelining them and giving election tickets to "imported" candidates from other parties.
• Incidents of unrest include a self-immolation attempt, workers slapping leaders, chasing MLAs, and open criticism in major cities like Sambhajinagar, Nashik, and Pune.
• Sushma Andhare, Shiv Sena Thackeray faction leader, penned an open letter empathizing with BJP workers' anguish and helplessness.
• Andhare criticizes the BJP leadership for abandoning its principles, becoming power-hungry, and using "cruel methods" to make space for corrupt turncoats by expelling loyalists.
• She compares loyal workers to ants building an anthill, only for "poisonous snakes" (corrupt individuals from other parties) to inhabit it, urging workers to fight for themselves.

Why It Matters: Sushma Andhare's letter highlights the deep betrayal and frustration of loyal BJP workers over ticket distribution.
