There is only a few months left for the assembly elections in Chhattisgarh, but efforts are on to change the party and serve the interests. Annoyed at not getting ticket in BJP, Saraipali leader Shyam Tandi left BJP and joined Congress. Tandi took Congress membership in the presence of PCC president Deepak Baij.
Shyam Tandi, BJP’s candidate in the 2018 elections from Saraipali assembly constituency in Mahasamund district, along with hundreds of his supporters came to the Congress headquarters Rajiv Bhavan in Raipur and entered the Congress. According to the information, Gada Samaj was angry for not getting ticket from Saraipali assembly seat, so he entered Congress.
Sarla Kosaria got ticket from Saraipali
BJP had issued a list of 21 candidates, Sarla Kosaria has got ticket from Saraipali. Let us tell you that a few days ago BJP had released a list of 21 candidates, in which Sarla Kosaria has been given ticket from Saraipali assembly. On the other hand, Shyam Tandi has resigned from the primary membership of BJP along with his supporters a few days ago, angry for not giving ticket to Gada Samaj.
