BJP workers spam Amit Shah's Facebook page with complaints against state leaders | | | Agencies
Thiruvananthapuram, June 30: The protest on social media started on June 27 when Amit Shah wrote a post about his interaction with party workers in West Bengal. With the 2019 Lok Sabha election less than a year away, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is facing an unusual crisis within its own ranks in Kerala. The party's state leaders are being criticised by their own cadres on social media. Many among them have flooded BJP President Amit Shah's Facebook page with comments against state leaders, accusing them of working for their own groups rather than for the party. The protest on social media started on June 27 when Amit Shah wrote a post about his interaction with party workers in West Bengal. The post has already seen more than 1,600 comments,, most of which are from BJP workers in Kerala. They are demanding an overhaul of the state leadership. "Amitji should really look into matters of Kerala BJP. It is disheartening that state leaders are incapable of taking forward the momentum. They are indulged in groupism. We don't need them," wrote Siithin Padinjarethil, a BJP sympathiser. He added: "These state leaders are becoming completely inactive and taking the party's momentum backwards." Another Facebook user Murkan Babu asked Shah to take action against state leaders in Kerala for resorting to groupism. Gokul Krishnan, another BJP worker, said, "You know why we are failing in Kerala? It's because of our leaders. Even if a worker is killed by CPI(M) or SDPI, what our leaders will do is just change their display photos on social media." He said that when BJP's councillors' offices were attacked, the Congress leaders helped before BJP leaders. Some of the workers have blamed former state chiefs V Muraleedharan (now a Rajya Sabha MP) and PK Krishnadas for this. The problems within the BJP started emerging after former state chief Kummanam Rajashekaran was made Governor of Mizoram. This left a void in the top leadership. It has been more than a month since then and the party is yet to find a suitable replacement that can lead the party into next year's general election. |
