Even as Kshatriya communities continued their protests against BJP candidate Parshottam Rupala over his controversial remarks about former princely families, the BJP was faced with another hurdle as party workers of two different groups clashed over the candidate in Amreli.
The severe infighting in Amreli — after the party dropped sitting MP Naran Kachchdiya — surfaced as supporters of the outgoing MP and those of Bharat Sutariya, the party nominee in the Lok Sabha seat clashed on Saturday late night.
After the clashes, several members were taken to the local hospital; later, Mr. Kachchdiya was also rushed there. Some video clips showed a few injured party members lying on beds in a hospital.
