Much has been written and discussed about the leaders and situation of the BJP in Uttarakhand. People mulled their head that who should have been the next CEO of the state!! Though BJP has already vetoed Bhagat Singh Koshyari for the post, and put B. C. Khanduri then Ramesh Chand Pokhariyal! The question aroused in my mind that, was it logical as per the policy. And, would it fit into the state’s public and party worker. Is it logical that someone paid very hard note to establish the party in the state and worked very closely to get the stand the party among workers. However, when the party got numbers, foisted the leader from the centre, who did not have much attachment in the state politics.
Let me stretch you nine years behind. When the state was formed and Nityanand swami was elected as the chief patron of the state, that time party not only ignored the cadre leaders but also created divested situation for the state’s party workers. When the party felt that the decision could not be proved in the Dev Bhoomi’s favour, it had to change the guard and chose Koshyari as the CM, who was widely known for the down to earth attitude, principal & ideology oriented politician. And, never likes to carry any protocol while meeting with the people. He belongs to a poor farmer family and very much aware about the day to day life & problems of the Dev Bhoomi’s people, started his innings for the public life since school days, and never looked back on an organization front, workers are still very much fond of this gentleman, as he never fiddled his finger with any kind of allegation in modern politics. However, party could not get the power in 2002 election due to lethargic decision taken by the top brass of the party at initial stage, as it was felt by the workers that Koshyari could not get the proper time to show his administrative skills. Again, party made him the state president till it comes in power. It is needless to say that he worked hard to get the party in power, and most eligible person to be in charge. Post winning the election in 2007, Party put the foundation for dividing the workers and the party in the state, as Khanduri was imposed as CM of the state. And, party throne away the koshyari as if he is of no use for the party. And, elected Bachi Singh Rawat as the state unit’s president. Both of them did not leave any stone unturned to erase the importance of Koshyari in the state. Khanduri, who was always in the commanding position in his life, which pierced in his public life too. Though he also did not have any hand in any kind of allegation and earned good rapport among the top leaders of the party as surface and transport minister in Vajpayee’s regime in the center. However, he never could be the first choice of the state’s party worker due to his own defined aura, and always liked to be maintained a decent distance from the general public and workers. And during the regime, closeness with some top brass of the party resulted as CM of the state. It could be merely just a sift decision of some top party office bearer to hand over the charge to any one, which had been done, without gone through the one’s contribution and efforts. It is evident that the decision taken by the top leaders swallowed the party from the state in Lok Sabha election in 2009.
Party even could not maintain the previous seats in the Lok Sabha election in the state, if I talk about the people. It was an obvious public opinion, people were not happy with the government. If it not had been, party at least could have won one parliamentary seat. The performance during the election posed a serious question on then CM that party performed with zero out put, while people are evident that it was not the time when the central government had done much to provide an air to sweep the election in the state. Simultaneously people equally forced that they have not given any weight on the charismatic impact of Rahul Gandhi to sweep the election, here the workers hold the views that poor organizational management, ticket distribution and unhappiness of the people ignite the anger and ouster the party in the election.
Later on, it was heard from Khanduri without naming koshyari that some people did not work for the party with full attentiveness, which was the key factor for loosing the election. If attention is paid, in other words, Khanduri unknowingly himself admitted that he does not have direct approach with the people or Koshyari has strong penetration among the party workers. Any one can be surprised that one person (Koshyari) does not work with full consideration or just blink his eye and party looses all seats. In other words! Does it not signify that how the person is dissolved among the workers? Now it’s up to you to think about the better leader for the party and state. The question is that, why should the party not provide a proper platform to Koshyari for livelihood of the party in the state? It seems to be that some leaders has closed the eye and not ready for introspection, and adherence of impartial democracy and decision in favour of the party and workers due to their personal ego and ambition. There is no doubt that attitude and modus operandi, adopted by the some party leaders to fulfill their own desire, will rapidly vanish the party from the country’s map. If the BJP wants to be survived, it has to bring internal democracy, essentially put forward the people leader and maintain the discipline !! After all it’s the party with difference, it is needless to say that the slogan is essentially to be adopted in a positive mode, not as it is presently spreading the message in a pessimistic mode.
