Ahead of Nagpur municipal elections, the BJP has seen mass resignations from over 80 party workers and office-bearers in Prabhag 16(d). A former president of the Prabhag cited denial of a ticket despite strong claims as the reason for his resignation. Similar exits are anticipated across the city. The local BJP president stated that resignations have only appeared on social media and have not been formally received. A former mayor's husband also resigned to contest independently, causing tension.
