BJP expels 90 rebels ahead of panchayat polls in Uttarakhand

Bhasin said the BJP can't tolerate anti-party activities of any sort and this action should serve as a lesson for others in the party who are not following the party line. 'We will not hesitate in taking disciplinary action against those BJP workers who are contesting against the candidates officially declared by the party,' he said. In Uttarakhand, 7,485 gram panchayats are going to polls this month. Panchayat elections will be held in state's 12 districts except Haridwar in three phases on October 5, October 11 and October 16. The panchayat polls have been mired in many controversies this year, starting with delay in its announcement to changes made by the state government with regard to the criteria for contesting the elections.
