Loyalists within the Latur city unit of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) are rebelling against ticket allocations for municipal polls, claiming outsiders and recent entrants were favored over long-time workers. Party members, some with RSS backgrounds, feel sidelined despite decades of service, asserting they are the 'real BJP.' They have resolved to contest the elections independently, citing perceived injustice and a desire to protect the party's grassroots foundation in Latur.
