Mission BJP Rejuvenation

BJP and Sangh Parivar leaders needs to sit and fix modalities for their future programe to make the party more versatile for having thoughts to intermingle to reach to unity conclusions. BJP a national party which has many states under their rules and is in equal footing with Congress, old guard in national poitics has achieved more laurrels thus the Hindu party failed to get support on its dear plank.The churning in the RSS-BJP is on to review the situation and achieve harmony in the party.Leaders of the two elite group of RRS and BJP are scoring points on each other.They need to sit together to thrash out the ideology,structuring the two fold on unitiive action plan. RSS being the chief organiser for the saffron party is finding its ideology along with its workers given inadequate importance, the BJP cadres finds it diffcult to tread the path of progress in their political ambition thus making the both pole getting rusted. The decision loading in state of non -democratic,keeps many eminent leaders findind themselves in isolation on subject of national importance.Periodic meets of national excutive to discuss their strategy are diluted with top leaders taking decsions at their levels. Party visibility is more on electronic channels with the spokesperson speaking on behalf of their leaders thus creating thrust of their leadership rather than sporting the united view of the BJP. BJP National President, Shri Rajnath Singh said in press release that the outcome of the recently concluded Lok Sabha elections are not upto the expectations of the Bharatiya Janata Party. But the party accepts the verdict of the people with humility. At the same time we are thankful to each and every one of our supporters who have always demonstrated their faith and belief in our party, its leadership and above all our ideology of building a strong and resurgent India. The BJP's emergence as the principal opposition party clearly indicates that millions of voters expect the BJP to perform the role as a responsible and responsive opposition party to ensure that the government does not treat the mandate as an excuse to take any decision that may go against the interests of the common man. The recent statements and interaction of some our party leaders on various media platforms appear to have created an impression in some quarters that the party's leadership is in disarray and is not analysing the reasons behind the defeat. This is far from the truth.
