Mandrem BJP workers say Tendulkar did not speak to them on pol situation, vow to defeat Sopte

12 Nov 2018 08:03 PM

The BJP Mandrem block has once again reiterated its stand that it was against the party decision to engineer the defection of Congress MLA Dayanand Sopte into the party.



Party workers were quite vocal in saying that in case Sopte was given the ticket they would ensure that he lost. 

The entry of Sopte and the subsequent sideling of former chief minister Laxmikant Parsekar has not gone down well with the grass root as well as middle ranked BJP workers.

They have condemned this move in no uncertain terms and the news in a section of the press that BJP state unit president Vinay Tendulkar, the prime architect of this defection had visited the constituency and spoken to workers who expressed their solidarity with the decision has incensed them.
