| Growing rebellion within party perturbs BJP leadership | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Jan 18: With growing rebellion in the Party, BJP leadership is in a fix as how to keep its house in order after hardcore activists who have served the organizations for decades tighter are up in arms against the state leaders while some of them have already quit the party to show solidarity with the disqualified MLAs led by Prof Chaman Lal Gupta.
Only one day after seven senior Party activists including two well known social activists Surinder Sharma from Jammu West and Swami Raj Sharma from Doda left the Party, BJP received another serious jolt with 20 women activists from Rural district Akhnoor including some senior functionaries and office bearers left the Party yesterday and pledged support to newly constituted JKDF. Not only this but more are on their way to quit the party and decide their decision in coming days, sources close to BJP revealed. The revolt by party workers against the BJP leadership in the state has perturbed the Partymen and the prospective candidates for coming Jammu Municipal Corporation elections with JKDF deciding to field its candidates in all the 70 wards of the JMC.
According to sources after the seven senior functionaries including Surinder Sharma and Swami Raj Sharma directly attacking the BJP state president Shamsher Singh Manhas and the coterie around him for the growing dissidence in the Party, some party functionaries within BJP who were also opposed to seven MLAs and had suggested their expulsion for the cross voting are now also feeling that the decision taken by High Command was done in a hurry as it will give a great setback to BJP to refurbish its image in Jammu region once again.
Sources said these partymen have not spared the state party chief and his coterie also and blamed them for leading the party to disaster. These functionaries have also written to Party High Command in Delhi to take immediate steps in saving the party from extinction in J&K with more and more workers switching their loyalty towards the expelled MLAs daily.
Moreover the campaign launched by the JKDF leadership in the region which is busy in constituting its units in length and breadth of the state has also worried the state BJP leadership that is faced with total rebellion within the Party. This division within the BJP vote will definitely benefit the Congress and NC candidates in Jammu region said a former Corporator of the Party who is tipped to contest the elections this time again.
``We had tried our best to convey the party leadership not to take extreme step and restrain from expelling Prof Gupta but they did not pay any heed to it as the state leadership misguided them'', he said adding the blunder after blunders by the party leaders has tarnished its image in the Jammu region where it had consolidated to some extent during the last Assembly elections.
Moreover the Party High Command has also shown its total dissatisfaction with the state leadership's functioning and its failure to keep the House in order. According to a senior BJP leader in Delhi the High Command has taken serious note of the functioning of the J&K state unit and sought a detailed report from the state leadership along with latest reports published in media.
Sources said that a Central leader while expressing his concern over the state of affairs in the Party in J&K has also blamed some of the senior party leaders of misguiding the High Command on various issues. Sources said though the Party leadership is presently pre-occupied with Assembly elections in four states and it can't fully devote towards the functioning of the Party in the state but soon after the elections are over it will leave no stone unturned in changing the state leadership which is the only way out left for it to save the party from rout in J&K. |
