There will be no hindrance from at least the insiders now”, told an RSS functionary to Whispers In The Corridors. In fact, the victory has given a big boost to the Chief Minister’s image. He has not only led the campaign in his way, but also been involved in the micro-management of every seat in UP. “Of course, All credit goes to ‘Maharaj ji’,” the functionary added.
BJP’s defeat in Jharkhand: Shivraj, Himanta asked to present report
In Jharkhand polls, the BJP was confident that it had the elections in the bag after rolling out its big guns like Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah in the campaign. But the results stunned the party. The BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) managed only 24 seats and the BJP’s own tally fell to 21 from 25 in 2019. The BJP has called a review meeting to analyse the reasons for its loss. It has asked state leaders to submit a detailed report on the defeat after speaking to candidates, for the 3 December central leadership meeting. BJP’s General Secretary (Organisation) BL Santhosh will look at the reasons for the defeat. Senior leaders Shivraj Singh Chouhan and Himanta Biswa Sarma have also been asked to present a fact-finding report before the meeting. Ahead of the central meeting, the state BJP leadership has also called all district Presidents and candidates for a state-level party meeting to review the reasons for the defeat.
