In this powerful ground interview, journalist Rohit Jha of Witty Chokha speaks with Vijay Thakur, a veteran BJP worker from Chanpatia constituency, who has been with the party since 1985. After 35 years of unwavering loyalty, Thakur finds himself suspended for six years, without ever receiving a party ticket. In this candid and emotional conversation, he opens up about betrayal, internal politics, and neglect faced by local BJP workers in Bihar.
Thakur recalls his decades-long service including surviving a bomb blast during a BJP rally only to be sidelined in favor of outsider candidates. He questions why grassroots workers like him are forgotten, and why Bihar’s promises of development, jobs, and infrastructure remain unfulfilled.
Calling himself a “rebel for Chanpatia’s honor”, Thakur warns that if the party doesn’t listen to its workers, “the people of Champaran will rewrite the story themselves.”
