BJP suspends Vadodara councillor for supporting victims' families

The BJP suspended Vadodara municipal councillor Ashish Joshi for six years after he supported the families of the Harni boat capsize victims. Joshi's suspension followed his support for compensation to the victims and his outspokenness, which led to previous disciplinary notices. He was also involved in a recent altercation, further damaging the party's image. The suspension came after Joshi's actions, including supporting the victims' families, were deemed detrimental to the party. The BJP stated his behavior repeatedly violated party discipline.
