The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) national president Amit Shah is coming to Jaipur after a gap of one year. He had come to Jaipur on a three-day tour last year on July 21, and this year too he will be in Jaipur for a one day visit on July 21.
During his previous last visit, Shah had set many goals for the state BJP, but the party failed to achieve those goals.
In the last one year, the state BJP workers got involved in factionalism and so failed to pay attention to achieve goals set by the party’s national president. Last year Shah took organizational and 12 other meetings where his main focus was to strengthen the organisation and booths. Shah gave the biggest target to the party members to make BJP an invincible organisation in the states. But the state BJP organisation failed to become invincible as it lost the by-elections held in Rajasthan in early 2018.
Status: Eight months after Shah’s visit, by-elections for two Lok Sabha and one Assembly constituency of the state were held in which BJP lost in both Alwar and Ajmer Lok Sabha constituencies and Mandalgarh Assembly constituency. BJP’s performance in urban bodies and Panchayat Raj by-election was also not good.
Status: There is no district office of BJP in all 33 districts across the state. State BJP has identified the land for office in 28 districts and the urban local bodies department allotted the land to it in 28 districts. The BJP has so far deposited amount required for the land allotted in 17 districts. So far the land has not been identified for the office in five other districts including Jaipur.
Status: Vistarak plan failed to pick up momentum. The BJP has so far been able to appoint vistaraks in only 117 out of 200 Assembly constituencies. These will be working in their constituencies till the Lok Sabha election.
Status: Several BJP leaders, including Ghanshyam Tiwari, Gyan Dev Ahuja, Bhawani Singh Rajawat have given anti-government and anti-organisation statements publicly. The party has been plagued by disputes between MLAs, ministers and councillors.
Status: Party failed to provide bikes to vistaraks.
Status: Party’s organisation units at 51,000 polling booths could not be formed. The BJP had to form a 21-member executive at the booths, but only 11-member executive could be formed in some booths. Booth executive was made on papers due to which BJP has to run booth verification programme.
