BJP in J&K a divided house; factionalism causing indecisiveness on major issue 8/8/2015 11:56:48 PM Early Times Report JAMMU, Aug 8: Contrary to its tall claims of being most disciplined political party, ruling Bhartiya Janta Party in Jammu and Kashmir is a divided house as the saffron brigade leaders here are allegedly involved in affiliating themselves with the factions in BJP on the basis of their background in public life. According to the sources in BJP circles, the party is divided in four factions with the each group trying to maintain its separate identity from each other on the basis of their roots in the saffron brigade. While the faction having group of leaders with RSS background are having an upper hand in organizational affairs, those who started their career as Bhartiya Janta Yuva Morcha activists, are trying to establish their presence as young Turks in the ruling party. Further, direct entrants in the BJP and those who are loyal only to Deputy Chief Minister Dr Nirmal Singh, form the remaining two factions in the party, which came into power in Jammu and Kashmir for the first time in its political history. Even as the group of RSS products is having major say in the organizational affairs, the class of leaders posing loyalty towards only Dr Nirmal Singh is the most benefitted lot in BJP Government. On the other hand, the leaders who made direct entry into the BJP from time to time, are presently being taken least care as they have no powerful godfather while the erstwhile youth wing cadre is struggling hard to make a space for itself in the ruling party, sources explained. Instead of working in unison for implementation of the party programmes to ensure welfare of people, sources said that leaders of the each faction are concerned only with personal agendas while the BJP is fast losing its popularity among the masses, more particularly in Jammu region of the State. Sources insisted that the prevailing factionalism was the main reason behind indecisiveness of the party in response to major issues concerning Jammu people, who are feeling deceived since formation of this Government.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
