BJP’s selection criteria for Gujarat local body polls ‘strict’, may backfire; workers unhappy: BJP MP

What Happened

BJP MP Mansukh Vasava said the party's strict candidate selection criteria for Gujarat local body elections may backfire. The rules exclude candidates over 60 years old, those with party-member relatives, and those completing three terms. Vasava stated party workers are demoralised by these restrictions, which differ from parliamentary election rules. He believes selections should be more flexible to retain experienced workers.
