Alarming signals for BJP: OBCs, SCs Panchayat members ensure defeat of party candidates in BDC elections 10/28/2019 10:58:56 PM Early Times Report Jammu, Oct 28: Although 'over-smart' BJP leadership is giving wrong figures to be-fool own party cadre, Panchayat members belong to Other Backward Classes (OBCs) and Scheduled Castes (SCs) played dominant role in ensuring defeat of BJP candidates in the Block Development Council (BDC) elections. Anger of OBCs and SCs against BJP especially after abrogation of Article 370 is an alarming signal for the party because these communities had played very important role in BJP's victories in 2014 and 2019 elections in J&K. There is feeling among OBCs and SCs that state BJP leadership has cheated weaker sections after abrogation of Article 370 and bifurcation of J&K into two Union Territories (UTs) so leaders of weaker sections worked over time to teach BJP a lesson. Credible sources said that OBCs and SCs leaders had campaigned aggressively during BDCs elections to convince Panchayat members of their own community members to ensure defeat of BJP candidates to teach party a lesson for backstabbing them. OBC and SC leaders had constituted teams which travelled different areas and educated Panchayat members belonging to weaker sections against nefarious designs of state unit of BJP, which is allegedly hatching conspiracies to deprive weaker sections of their constitutional rights. It was result of the efforts of these teams that in most of BDCs in Jammu province, Panchayat members belong to weaker sections voted against BJP in the elections and ensure humiliating defeat to the party. Credible sources said that after abrogation of Article 370, BJP's central leadership had sought suggestions from state unit to improve social economic conditions of weaker sections in J&K but state leaders, due to caste prejudice, failed to give any suggestions. Instead of giving clear picture to Centre about rights of weaker sections, state leadership of BJP rather suggested the Union Government to continue with the anti-weaker sections policies of the previous regimes of J&K.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
