BJP MUST INTROSPECT BEFORE GOING FOR J&K POLLS TO ACHIEVE THE TARGET OF+44.[ From the Desk of KPC] The central BJP leadership has set a target of 44+ seats in the J&K state polls with a view to form government in J&K on its own but it seems unlikely with the present set of local BJP leaders who have a very low public credibility. The cadre and supporters are also very low on morale because of the negative publicity about BJPs internal bickering s. Differences between some party veterans too seem to have taken roots. They have developed so much disliking and hatred for each other that they even dont want to see each others face. During elections, some are even heard praying for the defeat of others. This is an open secret. All in the party know about the lack of coordination and deficit of mutual trust among the old heads. The re-entry of Chaman Lal Gupta, Jagdish Spolia and other BJP MLAs, who were ousted from the party for their alleged involvement in the infamous cash-for-vote scam, has made others insecure. These MLAs accuse their party colleagues, also MLAs, of deliberately dragging their names in the scam just to defame them. They are back in the party and will now be waiting for their turn to take a revenge on their rivals. There is nothing new about infighting in the state BJP. In the last J&K polls, because of the dissension, the party had failed to fully cash in on the Bhum-Bhum Bholey agitation when its acceptability was at its peak in Jammu region. The infighting is still intact and one cannot expect any good for the party in the upcoming Assembly polls till the veterans sink their differences and face the electorate unitedly. This is very important. Unlike its central body, which has the likes of Ravi Shankar Prasad, Arun Jaitely and Sushma Swaraj,Dr. jitender singh, the state BJP has the dearth of charismatic leaders. And those, who were known for raising their voice against any wrong-doing of the state administration, too seem to have become ineffective. The government no more takes them seriously. Reason, they are alleged to be visiting the Chief Minister and his Cabinet colleagues for personal favours, sacrificing the interests of general masses,.. With such kind of leaders at the fore front, how can BJP think of achieving the target of 44+ seats? This is just impossible. To even win a respectable number of seats, it would be needing the faces who have a track record of honesty and integrity. But sorry to say, the local BJP unit does not seem to have any such leader. And those, who are acceptable to the masses to some extent, have already been sidelined. Sycophants cant contribute to achieve the target which as of now seems to be achievable. The party needs to go for a sincere introspection before facing the electorate. [ Kundan Kashmiri, KPC Chief]
