The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) finds itself in a challenging situation as over 60 candidates have expressed their desire to contest the upcoming Vav Assembly bypoll, scheduled for November 13. With so many aspirants vying for the party's ticket, internal conflicts could emerge, posing a potential threat to the BJP's bid to reclaim the seat.

To manage the growing list of contenders, the BJP has appointed a 3-member observer committee to gauge the situation and conduct the selection.
