Cadre first, leaders’ kin later: Nadda underlines BJP’s ticket mantra in Madhya Pradesh

By Express News Service

BHOPAL: Karyakarta (social gathering employees) come earlier than politicians’ youngsters,’ would be the mantra of the ruling BJP for the upcoming elections in Madhya Pradesh. On the primary day of his two-day tour of the state, BJP nationwide president JP Nadda reiterated that it is going to be the devoted employees who will characterize the social gathering in all the approaching polls, whereas the kin of leaders will work for strengthening the organisation. 

“It happened in UP where the family members of many sitting lawmakers were competent, but could not be promoted at the cost of the dedicated workers. Similarly, the kin of many lawmakers and ministers in MP too may be competent, but they need to first work for strengthening the party, for which they would be acclaimed. But it would only be the time-tested workers who will represent the party in polls, starting with the local bodies elections,” Nadda advised the media.

Pointing out that the BJP might have misplaced its winnable seat in Himachal Pradesh and a few by-polls in MP on account of this coverage of avoiding  dynastic politics, he added, “The policy of workers first in polls will be followed religiously. We know this would cause pains, but we also know how to apply healing touch to wounds. How can you expect a worker to work selflessly for the party, if it is run by some families?” 

Asked in regards to the persevering with of the management of Shivraj Singh Chouhan  for the 2023 Assembly polls, he replied, “We don’t believe in uprooting a well-planted sapling to see whether it’s firmly rooted or not. The party and government are doing a good job. The parliamentary board will decide about the 2023 polls.”
