BJP MP Rajesh Chudasama eats his words after ‘won’t spare anyone’ remarks

Rajesh Chudasama, the re-elected BJP MP from Junagadh, has sparked a new controversy by targeting his party members following the election results.

On June 19, during a BJP gratitude event in Prachi village of Gir-Somnath, Chudasama made a contentious remark: “In five years, I will not spare those who have hindered me.”

Following a backlash, he issued a clarification the next day in Junagadh. He explained, “I was referring to non-political individuals who opposed me despite the work I did for them over the past 10 years.”

Chudasama reiterated his warning, emphasising, “Whether the BJP keeps account or not, I will not spare those who have hindered me in the past five years.”

He acknowledged the hard work of BJP workers and leaders who contributed to his victory under challenging conditions. However, he expressed frustration over individuals who opposed him during the election despite him assisting them, finding their actions particularly painful.

Defending his controversial remarks, Chudasama stated he was addressing a specific coterie, unrelated to his party. He also raised concerns about a potential lack of support in the future.

Showering praises over BJP’s Talala MLA Bhagwan Barad, Chudasama said, “He contested the election on his own  and did more work for me in the Lok Sabha polls. He is like a father figure. I have no grudge against party leaders or workers.”
