Gujarat BJP president C R Paatil has clarified that there is no move to replace sitting MLAs en masse.
“The party has 112 MLAs in the 182-member assembly, which means we will have to look for 70 candidates on those seats which we have not won. Also, there will be a few MLAs who will retire. In that sense, the BJP will have to look for about100 new faces. There is no move to change existing MLAs,” Paatil clarified.
C R Paatil also said that, “I had told party workers that there is a likelihood of new faces. If you work diligently in your respective areas, and if the people endorse you, there is a possibility of you being selected.”
