Enthralled on the exit poll speculation the Bharatiya Janata Prty’s marathon meeting was held. Waiting ardently, though confident to be enthroned, the leaders are moreover trying to avoid dissidence.
In its development the party patriarch Lal Krishna Advani has given his consent for the Speaker’s job. Whereas there seems something fishy regarding senior leader Sushma Swaraj While celebrating the magnanimous victory, the party is eyeing to for other pockets. However, Biju Janata Dal leader Jay Panda has hinted about joining National Democratic Alliance, but there was no such
indication from Odisha CM Naveen Patmaik. Whilst during the election Trinmul Congress and Bahujan Samaj Party were averse to go with NDA.,whilst Tamil Nadu CM J.Jaylalitha seems to join the alliance which was hinted by her statement recently. On the one hand the BJP exudes confidence of achieving the power key, on the other hand is cautious about the dissidents. With its allies it doesn’t seem at ease.
In this regard the party leaders are having meetings with its mother organization Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh.Though it was said about government formation but there seems to be power wars simultaneously.
While RSS opines - the key post of the NDA chairperson for Mr. Advani, whereas Mr. Modi is keen to hold this post. If he has been projected as BJP’s PM candidate throughout the election, then why this
question arises. As a conclusion it can be said that ALL IS NOT WELL within the BJP.
