While levelling serious allegations against BJP, JCCJ said an attempt was being made to damage the regional party of Chhattisgarh. JCCJ is the only regional party in Chhattisgarh. Besides, the BJP is hell-bent on destroying the regional parties in the country. Spokesperson of the JCCJ Bhagwanu Nayak said, "Lori MLA Dharmjeet Singh Thakur acted contrary to the principles of social justice and Chhattisgarh first policy adopted by Ajit Jogi. He has been expelled from the party for six years."
"It is the conspiracy of the national party like BJP to destroy the regional parties one by one. Lori MLA Dharmjeet Singh Thakur fought and won the election under the election symbol and banner of Janta Congress Chhattisgarh and always worked against the principles of the party. Hence, he was removed," Nayak added.
