Shah asks K’taka BJP leaders to forget differences & work unitedly
In a bid to strengthen the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Karnataka, Union Home Minister Amit Shah has asked the party leaders in the state to overcome their past differences and work unitedly. This instruction comes at a time when some leaders had opposed the state party president BY Vijayendra’s presidency, accusing him of “adjustment politics” with the ruling Congress.
BY Vijayendra, who is also the son of former Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa, had taken over as the state party president in September 2020. However, not everyone was pleased with his appointment, and some leaders had criticized him and his father for trying to keep the party in their clutches. These leaders had also accused Vijayendra of compromising the party’s ideology by making “adjustments” with the ruling Congress to ensure his presidency.
Despite these differences, Shah’s visit to Karnataka is seen as a significant effort to bring the party leaders together and work towards a common goal. Shah, who is also the BJP’s national president, met with the state party leaders and asked them to forget their past differences and work unitedly for the party’s growth.
According to sources, Shah told the leaders that the party’s growth and success depended on its unity and strength. He emphasized that the party’s goal was to win the next assembly elections and form a government in the state, and that this could only be achieved if the leaders worked together.
Shah’s visit to Karnataka comes at a time when the party is facing internal strife and divisions. The party’s state unit has been plagued by infighting and factionalism, with some leaders accusing each other of corruption and nepotism.
The party’s national leadership has been trying to address these issues and strengthen the state unit. Shah’s visit is seen as a significant effort in this direction, and party insiders believe that it could help to bring the leaders together and work towards a common goal.
BY Vijayendra, who was present at the meeting with Shah, said that the Union Home Minister’s visit was a significant boost to the party’s morale. “Amit Shah’s visit has given us a new energy and motivation to work together for the party’s growth,” Vijayendra said.
Vijayendra also emphasized that the party’s goal was to win the next assembly elections and form a government in the state. “We are working towards this goal, and we will do everything possible to achieve it,” he said.
The BJP’s chances of winning the next assembly elections in Karnataka look uncertain, given the party’s internal strife and divisions. However, Shah’s visit and his instructions to the leaders to work unitedly could help to change the party’s fortunes.
The Congress, which has been ruling the state since 2018, is facing its own set of problems, including internal strife and corruption allegations against its leaders. The party’s leadership is also facing criticism for its inability to deliver on its election promises.
The BJP, on the other hand, has been trying to capitalize on the Congress’s weaknesses and present itself as a viable alternative to the people. Shah’s visit and his instructions to the leaders to work unitedly could help the party to achieve this goal.
In conclusion, Shah’s visit to Karnataka and his instructions to the leaders to work unitedly are significant developments in the state’s political landscape. The party’s internal strife and divisions will need to be addressed if it is to have any chance of winning the next assembly elections. However, with Shah’s guidance and leadership, the party may be able to overcome its internal issues and present itself as a viable alternative to the people.
