Following a significant decline in the BJP’s vote share in the recent Lok Sabha elections, senior party leaders have been instructed to provide detailed reports on the polling booths in their localities.
Despite retaining both Lok Sabha seats in Jammu province, the BJP is concerned about the sharp drop in its vote share, which fell from 46.2% to 24.36%. This decline has prompted the party leadership to take action.
As reported earlier, it has been noted that many senior leaders, including state office bearers, district presidents, and Mandal presidents, failed to secure a lead for party candidates in the recent elections. A dozen senior leaders, despite holding significant positions within the party, did not achieve respectable vote counts in their polling booths. Instead of active campaigning, these leaders were primarily engaged in social media activities during the Lok Sabha elections. |
