Shimla, May 10 -- The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has taken disciplinary action against workers who are contesting the panchayati raj and urban local body elections against the party's authorised candidates in the state. In a statement from the state office, the BJP disciplinary committee announced that after reviewing complaints from various districts and mandals, it classified the reported actions as a grave act of indiscipline. Based on the committee's recommendations, BJP state president Dr Rajiv Bindal took action in accordance with the party constitution against certain workers associated with the Dharamshala Municipal Corporation and the Nagar Parishad, Nahan, suspending their primary membership with immediate effect. The action includes prominent names from the Dharamshala MC, including former mayor Omkar Nehria and former deputy mayor Tejinder Kaur. According to the press release, those suspended from the Dharamshala MC include Saroj Guleria, Mitul Shukla and Himanshi Agarwal. Additionally, the primary membership of Leela Saini of the Nagar Parishad, Nahan, has also been suspended. The BJP said that the party organisation and discipline are paramount, and working against an authorised candidate at any level will not be tolerated. The party stated that the BJP is a cadre-based organisation, and there will be no compromise regarding organisational decorum and discipline. The party launched a scathing attack on the Congress while addressing a workers' convention in Mandi regarding the upcoming MC elections. Addressing the workers, BJP national vice-president Saudan Singh said: "The voice of Himachal Pradesh today is clear - End Congress loot, lies and corruption." He alleged that the Congress government led by chief minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu has driven Himachal Pradesh to the brink of economic bankruptcy. "Roads are in poor condition, hospitals lack doctors, educational institutions lack teachers and development works across the state have come to a standstill," he said. He alleged that hundreds of projects initiated during the previous BJP government have either been shut down or deliberately slowed down. Addressing the convention, the party's state president Dr Rajeev Bindal claimed that the Congress government has shut down more than 1,500 institutions in the last three-and-a-half years, including schools, colleges, hospitals, patwar circles and several public service institutions....
