Usman Ghani, the Bikaner BJP Minority Morcha district president, faced expulsion from the party for his criticism of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s recent remarks in Rajasthan, deemed detrimental to the party’s reputation. Ghani’s dissent, aired during an interview with a news channel in New Delhi, included predictions of BJP losses in three to four Lok Sabha seats out of Rajasthan’s 25, and condemnation of PM Modi’s statements about Muslims during election rallies.
Expressing disappointment as a Muslim BJP representative, Ghani highlighted the challenges encountered while seeking votes from the Muslim community due to the Prime Minister’s remarks. He also cited discontent within the Jat community towards the BJP in certain constituencies like Churu.
Despite potential repercussions, Ghani stood firm in his statements, indicating his willingness to face any action from the party. However, after a video of Ghani’s interview circulated on social media, BJP’s state disciplinary committee chairman, Onkar Singh Lakhawat, accused him of attempting to tarnish the party’s image in the media. Consequently, Ghani was expelled from the party for six years for breaching disciplinary norms.
This incident unfolded against the backdrop of PM Modi’s controversial remarks during a rally in Banswara, Rajasthan, where he alleged that the Congress plans to redistribute wealth to Muslims if they come to power. These comments drew criticism from several opposition parties, contributing to the ongoing political discourse in the region.
