A former minister from Maharashtra accused BJP leaders of lying about a letter from Delhi traders, sparking political controversy.
A former minister of Maharashtra publicly accused senior BJP leaders of dishonesty regarding a letter allegedly sent by Delhi traders. The remarks were made during a press interaction in Indore, where the former minister asserted that the BJP’s narrative about the traders’ correspondence was fabricated.
The contested letter is said to contain grievances from Delhi-based merchants about recent policy changes, and the BJP had earlier cited it to justify certain political positions. The former minister, however, challenged the authenticity of the document, labeling the party’s statements as false and misleading.
Political analysts noted that the exchange could intensify intra‑party tensions ahead of upcoming elections, while BJP representatives have yet to issue a detailed rebuttal. The incident underscores the growing friction between regional leaders and the central party hierarchy over trade‑related issues.
