Karnataka BJP grappling with internal discord

Deccan Chronicle  

Mangaluru: After the defeat in the recent Assembly elections, the Bharatiya Janata Party is grappling with internal discord and confusion. Moreover, the BJP members are fuming as they see the party's failure to effectively challenge and expose the shortcomings of the ruling Congress government in implementing Guarantee schemes. This atmosphere has been further tainted by instances of public factionalism, wherein leaders exchange barbs and insinuations, even in the presence of senior party figures, a senior BJP leader pointed out. It is imperative for the party to promptly appoint a new state chief and leader of the opposition to restore order and re-establish unity," he said. Party men also acknowledge the BJP's challenges in effectively carrying out its responsibilities as the opposition, expressing disappointment over the party's failure to adequately scrutinize the actions of the Congress government.
