Rattles the Seniors Strategy in BJP

By fielding Tomar, Vijayvargiya and others bigwigs in MP’s assembly polls party sends the message

Can’t afford complacency in ruling game

Ravindra Ojha @ EW News:

As seen in Madhya Pradesh candidates list, it’s crystal clear that BJP is in no mood to let complacency creep into it’s rank and file. By fielding many of it’s veterans, some of whom are central ministers, such as Narendra Singh Tomar, Kailash Vijayvargiya, Prahlad Patel to contest assembly polls, the saffron party sends rattling signals to the seniors not to take anything granted for lifetime. The message is vociferously clear cut that for long time Survival in politics, electoral relevance is a must factor. If you have guts, then prove your grassroot connect is the punch line hidden in between the lines of the marching order. It is this unique quality of continuously shaking up it’s rank and file, which makes BJP a formidable force in the electoral arena.

In Madhya Pradesh, where saffron party is locked in a neck to neck battle with the Congress for the upcoming assembly elections, the ruling party did it again. By asking several of it’s central leaders to prove their mettle in an adverse circumstances, the BJP seems to have conveyed the coveted message meticulously that party cannot afford complacency, every leaders should be battle ready all the time. BJP continues to rattle party hierarchy time and again with the sole aim to put responsible persons holding posts in organisation or government to be always in alert mode. A defining features of today’s BJP is that it doesn’t allow Congress culture of status quoism seep into it’s fold.

On being nominated to fight assembly election, party’s national general secretary Kailash Vijayvargiya was a suprised and confused fellow. To guarantee the party ticket to his son Akash, Vijayvargiya was said to be unwilling to try his luck in the hustings. It’s quite interesting to know that some of the heavyweights asked to contest polls were part of the party’s election committee but appeared to be taken unawares by their names on the list.

If the aim of the shake up exercise is to boost the morale of the workers, it worked on earlier occasions. This is also different from the BJP’s earlier approach of dropping senior leaders.

Saffron brigade’s shake up the hierarchy exercise in MP has been interpreted by opposition and some political analysts as a sign of nervousness. Opposition Congress ridiculously commented that seeing the imminent defeat ahead, BJP has fielded it’s old war horses, but this tricks won’t work in MP this time as people are fed up with BJP’s misrule. Let’s see what happens ahead, but the whole political market place in the state seems to have adopted battle ready scenario.
