| Dumping its promising faces, BJP on 'use and abandon' spree | | |
Early Times Report
JAMMU, Nov 24: The BJP it seems is using articulate and promising party workers for its political ends rather than to empower them and use their services. It's in line with the strategy adopted by the party with respect to expelled MLAs, who were first expelled than before parliamentary elections brought in and then denied Assembly ticket.
The party had promised to project Aditi Sharma, a young and articulate party worker. In a brief span of time, she worked hard and even eclipsed senior party leaders in polls campaign both in the parliamentary and state elections. This it seems irked senior leadership of the party.
She was projected as the party candidate from the Gandhi Nagar constituency and taking a cue, she even started party campaign even before the party got its acts together. She slowly started becoming talk of this constituency and being a female she started attracting important female voters.
But the party then decided to choose Kavinder Gupta and dumped Aditi Sharma, who had done most of the spade work and built an image of the party. However, by dropping Aditi, the party has given a signal that it's more interested in centralising the power at few hands and denying any opportunity to young articulate faces, who with their new and intelligent approach could have infused new thinking and thus challenge the hegemony of few.
The party hopes to become a serious governance contender in the crucial J&K state. But, going by the track record of the candidates it has put up, just handful could project the cause of the Jammu region and nationalism on the floor of the Assembly, and counter Kashmiri leadership, if they are elected.
The state unit of the BJP was accused of taking directions from the NC and it was rumoured that NC first got its MLAs to elect their candidate in the Council election and then used them for the rest of the tenure to its advantage. It tarnished the image of the party.
But by denying ticket to leaders like Aditi Sharma it has done no good to itself and has further distance the thinking youth from the party. |
