Symbolic photo of BJP Punjab chief with Jalandhar leaders
For many days, the BJP is trying to strengthen its ground for the municipal elections, but perhaps the stars of the party are not supporting it. Right now, the big leaders of the party add people to the people that the next moment the old leaders leave the house. The same has happened this time as well. Even before the arrival of party chief Ashwini Sharma, the party leaders have given a big blow.
Ten strong leaders of the party, including four councilors, have called the party bye-bye. All four of them are trying to go to the ruling party. Although efforts are being made at the party level to persuade the angry leaders, but hardly any of them agree. The preparations that the BJP had started before the corporation elections, together with the resignation of ten big leaders of the city from the primary membership of the party, have been ruined.
Meanwhile, it has also been learned that Ashwini Sharma, who had already been scheduled to visit Jalandhar, may go to persuade these leaders. But it has also been learned that the Aam Aadmi Party can welcome the leaders of the Bharatiya Janata Party to the city by getting them to join the party and give a gift to the state head of the BJP on arrival.
The BJP leaders who have left the party were already in touch with Aam Aadmi Party’s West constituency MLA Sheetal Angural and Central constituency MLA Raman Arora. They were also in touch because both the MLAs were in the BJP before the Aam Aadmi Party came into existence. Both had joined the Aam Aadmi Party before the elections. When the party gave tickets to both, both became MLAs in the wave of change.
There was rebellion in the party earlier also
Since the time Sushil Sharma took over the command of the Bharatiya Janata Party in the city, controversies have been going on continuously. The controversies started at the time of the election itself. Earlier, a party leader was thrashed by Congress leaders outside the polling booth during the counting of votes. Tore his clothes. Even former MLA KD Bhandari had to face blows while saving his worker. But the Prime Minister and the BJP leader whose clothes were torn reached the house of former Congress minister Avtar Henry to settle.
The photo of this agreement went viral on social media. As soon as the photo went viral, there was a boil in the party. Party leaders got angry that if a compromise had to be made, then why was the FIR registered. Why a dharna was staged outside the Police Commissioner’s office for all the workers. There was such a tremendous reaction to this agreement in the party that the leaders of Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha, who raised slogans everywhere, had resigned from their posts by holding press conferences. At that time also some young leaders had left the primary membership of the party.
