Sources in Likabali informed that the mob was allegedly upset with the recommendation of Gensi ZPM, Kardo Nyicyor as the BJP candidate to the 28th Likabali polls.
Demanding that the BJP maintain the cadre discipline of the party, sources informed that the youths warned that if Nyicyor is given the party ticket, people of Likabali would boycott all events and leaders of the BJP at Likabali.
