Off The Record about: BJP says it will contest in all Gram Panchayats of Telangana. It has given instructions to local leaders to contest as sarpanchs and ward members. Here a new discussion started in the party circles. It was fine until the higher-ups gave orders… At the lower level, the leaders of their own party are talking about whether there is actually a scene for us. There may be hope, but they themselves are making satires saying that things like greed and greed are useless. Even if these elections are not held on the party symbol, the candidates supported by the respective parties will be in the ring. Usually contesting is done by an activist who is active in the main parties or a member of their family. That is why BJP also says that there will be candidates who will strengthen their party in all the seats. The elders thought that contesting in the panchayat elections was crucial for strengthening the party at the field level. But… is competition just that? The question of most of the leaders is who will get rid of the hand oil in the ring where there is no minimum strength at the field level.
Elections for 12 thousand panchayats are going to be held in Telangana. BJP does not even have a booth committee in majority of these villages. Most of the polling booths don’t even have people holding the party flag. Then the main question is how competition is possible in all villages. BJP focuses on polling booths when organizational elections are held. This time the party has shown a better performance than last time in terms of membership and setting up committees.. But it is questionable how active those committees are. In order to contest in local body elections, one should be a known face at field level. There should be people who know and respond to local problems in that area. But… we are the majority of those who are in the BJP committees… The pain of eating, sleeping and waking up. Questions are also being heard that what will all such people achieve by standing in the election ring. Physical strength and mental strength are important to compete in elections. Majority of BJP leaders at the village level do not have those qualities.
There are also criticisms that the main leaders of the party have not paid much attention to strengthening the leadership at the field level in recent years. Except for one or two people here and there who are influencing with their personal charisma… there has never been any attempt for strong leadership in terms of the party. If there are Lok Sabha and Assembly elections… they will vote for Prime Minister Modi or another leader…. The discussion going on in Telangana Kashay Dal is whether there will be such a situation in panchayats. At the end, the BJP leaders say that they will show their power in the panchayat circle when they are not even able to talk about whether the central government funds and schemes are coming to the villages. Kamalam Party’s inner voice says that there is no situation to field Sarpanch candidates in agency areas, joint Khammam, Nalgonda, Warangal, etc. except where party MPs and MLAs are present.
