The party chief Ashok Parnami resigned as the state president on April 16 and now its almost two months, but no name has been finalised for the post.
Due to prolonged indecisiveness and controversy over the election of the state president, the election preparation of the state Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has failed to pick up momentum. Over a lot of activities that need to be undertaken in the run up to Assembly election, the party workers are in confusion over how to take things forward and have become inactive. Clearly, the prevailing scenario does not bode well for BJP’s prospects of winning the polls in the state
The party chief Ashok Parnami resigned as the state president on April 16 and now its almost two months, but no name has been finalised for the post.
For the post of state president, the Central leadership of BJP had forwarded the name of Union minister of state for agriculture and farmers welfare Gajendra Singh Shekhawat, but chief minister Vasundhara Raje is not in his favour. For the last two months, a lot of churning is being done by the state BJP and the central BJP over ‘the right choice’ of name, but the wait still has not got over.
The BJP is divided over Shekhawat’s name. What’s striking is, even after giving resignation Ashok Parnami is seen at the forefront. Once the resignation is submitted by the president under the party constitution, his entire executive is considered dissolved. In such a situation, the present BJP’s state executive is not in existence. But full executive is working as office bearers with Parnami. Moreover, CM Raje herself has addressed Parnami as the party president in public functions that were recently held and BJP’s media cell too is addressing Parnami as the state president. Parnami had also joined the State BJP core committee meeting.
Some senior workers said that only five months are left in the assembly elections and in such a situation, the organisation will have to suffer due to not having a state president.
PARMANI YET TO GO
What’s striking is, even after giving resignation Ashok Parnami is seen at the forefront. Once the resignation is submitted by the president under the party constitution, his entire executive is considered dissolved.
