Key Questions Answered
A major rebellion has erupted after the BJP announced Sudhakar Kohale as its candidate for the Nagpur Division Graduate Constituency election, sidelining senior leader and former MLA Anil Sole who had already started his campaign.
Deeply upset by the party's decision and what he views as continuous injustice, Anil Sole has decided to raise a banner of revolt and is expected to file his nomination as an independent candidate.
The Bharatiya Janata Party plans to attempt to pacify Anil Sole and may offer him an important commitment or political rehabilitation in the near future to resolve the dispute.
