| Gadkari episode may delay BJP organizational elections | | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, Oct 28: With national president of the Party, Niting Gadkari dogged by charges against his companies, the organizational elections of BJP will be further delayed in the state as well as in the country.
According to surces the RSS which was brain behind in installing Mr Gadkari the Party chief in 2008 and had given indications of extending his term further during this year’s organizational elections, has now chosen to be defensive on Gadkari issue and asked the BJP to take a decision on new party chief at its own.
The sources said with the names of some fake share holders in Gadkari’s firm making rounds, the BJP chief may also try to play safe and prefer to chose a ceremonial exist instead of facing humiliation. The BJP sources said also want that Mr Gadkari should not try for second term as it will put Party into an awkward position to face Congress on graft charges when its own party chief was at the center of a controversy.
To maintain party’s clan image the top brass of BJP and its senior leaders have suggested that Mr Gadkari be replaced by a new chief with a clean image and who has a following among the masses. However the Party has decided not to attach much importance to the allegations against the Party president at this juncture till elections to two BJP ruled state Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh are over, sources said.
Sources said though Congress is also interested that Mr Gadkari should continue as chief of the main opposition Party to blunt its charges of graft against the Congress led UPA, the BJP will not like to give any chance to ruling alliance to expose the weaknesses of the party in 2014 elections.
Meanwhile the sources said the organizational elections at national level and in states my be delayed for the time being as a soul searching exercise has started in BJP especially after the former Chief Minister of Karnataka and its national chief were also facing charges of irregularities.
Sources said the delay in the poll process may also affect the elections of Party in J&K and the High Command which had earlier sent feelers of giving extension to present state chief will now reconsider the decision as the Party will give a preference to such a leader to head it in the state who will have a clan public image and can take decisions independently without bowing to any pressure of ruling NC.
