The latest issue of BJP mouthpiece
Kamal Sandesh has taken a swipe at the leadership and criticised the infighting and demoralisation within the party. “A feeling of hurt is pervading the mind of every BJP karyakarta (worker) for quite sometime. This is not the first time they have tasted defeat in elections, but losing has never before made them feel so disheartened or morose. But today, every karyakarta is feeling depressed. He is perturbed. What shall I tell to the persistent, anxious queries of people,” says the editorial in Kamal Sandesh’s November 16 issue.
The BJP cannot ignore the fact that it failed in the polls in UP. Election results in Rajasthan and Delhi hurt the karyakartas, the editorial says. There’s a scathing remark on the state of affairs in Rajasthan. “The situation in Rajasthan has broken the heart of every common karyakarta in the country. Where shall the party go without discipline and unity? Why did we lose Delhi, the heart of the country?”
Raising questions about the leadership, it says, “Is the leadership unaware of the reasons that led to poll disaster? The BJP has a duty to answer to the people.” The editorial also decried the recent Karnataka crisis.
