Chhattisgarh Deputy Chief Minister Arun Sao has defended the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) admission of leaders facing investigations by Central security agencies, asserting that the party will not compromise its ideology for any individual. The BJP has reportedly granted tickets to 34 candidates from other parties, leading to accusations from the Opposition that the ruling party is using coercive tactics to co-opt political opponents. Sao vehemently denies these charges, stating that the dropped cases against these individuals indicate a lack of evidence. He emphasizes that the BJP is the only party driven by an ideology that guides its policies and will not be altered by the entry or exit of any member.
