The BJP high command’s decision to nominate incumbent MP Raja Amareshwar Naik as candidate for Raichur Lok Sabha constituency has created disappointment for the former MP B.V. Naik and his followers.
B.V. Naik’s supporters raised “Go back Raja Amareshwar Naik” slogans and displayed banners that said, “Thanks to BJP high command for tracing an MP who disappeared after winning the elections five years ago”.
Upset over being denied ticket, B.V. Naik called a meeting of his followers and like-minded leaders in Raichur on Wednesday, where participants expressed disappointment and raised slogans against the BJP high command’s decision.
