In Uttarakhand, since 2014, the BJP is preparing to give a blow to the Congress, which is struggling to save its political land. BJP state president Mahendra Bhatt indicated this.
The infighting in the Congress that emerged recently and the meeting of BJP leaders with Congress MLA Tilakraj Behad and other Congress leaders is being linked to this.
When asked about this, Bhatt said that there is nothing wrong in meeting. Contact with all the leaders continues. Along with manners, it is natural to discuss many topics during the conversation.
Congress is lagging behind in the elections in the state:
Since the 2014 Lok Sabha elections, the Congress has been trailing in the elections held so far in the state. Meanwhile, the news of factionalism in the party and swords being drawn among satraps on various issues has also made headlines. This is being linked to the displeasure of some leaders.
Former Congress state president Pritam Singh has been a constant attacker on state in-charge Devendra Yadav. Meanwhile, Congress MLA Tilakraj Behad has also been very vocal about many issues in his party for some time now.
The state’s Agriculture Minister Ganesh Joshi and Union Minister of State for Defense and Tourism Ajay Bhatt met the recuperating MLA Behad recently. Regarding this, many kinds of implications started being extracted in the political corridors. It is also discussed that in the changed circumstances, the BJP is now preparing to give a blow to the Congress.
Tense on Mahara’s tenure:
BJP state president Mahendra Bhatt took a dig at Congress state president Karan Mahara for describing his one-year tenure as full of achievements and said that Mahara’s tenure was spent in factionalism and propaganda by staying away from public concerns. In an informal conversation with reporters, Bhatt said that what is the achievement that the state Congress president is talking about. Congress organization is away from public in service works. Congress has also not been able to fulfill the responsibility of the opposition properly. Instead of co-operating in constructive works and alerting and giving suggestions to the government, the Congress has been doing politics of accusations and counter-propaganda.
