By-Election Defeat in MP Jhabua Constituency, Exposes Rift in BJP

Bhopal: After the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) defeat in Madhya Pradesh’s Jhabua constituency, MLA Kedarnath Shukla attacked the party’s state unit president Rakesh Singh and questioned his leadership abilities. The party has issued a show-cause notice to Shukla over the incident.

The BJP wanted to create problems for the Kamal Nath led government in the Jhabua by-poll. But after the victory of the Congress party, anti-voices have started to rise within the opposition.

“Neither was the BJP defeated nor did the Congress party win the by-poll in Jhabua. The unfavorable result in the election has come only due to the non-political acts of the BJP state President. The central leadership should remove him from the party’s post as soon as possible,” Shukla said.

BJP state unit general secretary Vishnuttatta Sharma said that the party should consider Shukla’s statement as an act of indiscipline. What he has said does not come under the party’s policy. He has been issued a show-cause notice after discussion with the central leadership regarding the allegations of incompetence against the state President. (IANS)
