The irony of the country’s political parties is that once they get big, really big, they become Congress. Previously, there was an uproar in Congress as soon as the ballots were issued. There are many people seeking votes in every region. Those who did not get tickets used to march and demonstrate calling for rebellion. Later, some votes were changed, and the parties concerned spent a lot of energy to persuade others through persuasion or persuasion.
Nothing like this has ever happened to the BJP before. Tickets are decided together and promotion begins for those who get tickets. But that is no longer the case. Now the BJP has become big, very big. There, too, voices of defiance began to emerge in large numbers after tickets were distributed or candidates were announced. Be it the Rajasthan by-elections, Maharashtra elections or Jharkhand elections, ticket-hungry BJP workers are making their voices heard everywhere. As usual, the party is now busy convincing an angry people. They will agree too. But other parties are enjoying the rebellious rhetoric.
Be it the Rajasthan by-election, the Maharashtra election or the Jharkhand election, the BJP is now busy convincing the angry people.
The reason is that in most places, there are very few announced congressional candidates. The mood of rebellion will be different when all Congress candidates come forward. After the rebellious storm in the Congress, the rebellious voices in the BJP are likely to calm down as the BJP knows this management very well. Congress probably knows this too, but its decision-making capabilities are not as sophisticated or quite as quick. Everyone experienced this during the Haryana elections. The Congress is telling everyone in Haryana that a victorious election may be a failure.
The Congress may also know how to quell rebellious voices, but its decision-making capabilities are not as sophisticated or swift as those of the BJP.
Now, while reviewing the Haryana election results, Rahul Gandhi said party leaders put their own interests ahead of the party. But the question is, when local leaders do this, what is the party high command doing? What are you doing Why wasn’t this situation dealt with immediately? Why is there no pre-poll alliance with parties in the Indian Union? If that happens, those seats where you lost at least fifteen hundred votes may come to your account. Now, how to ensure that such mistakes are not repeated in Maharashtra and Jharkhand?
