I am writing to express concern over certain practices within the BJP that appear to undermine the contribution of its dedicated grassroots workers. Many hardworking and capable party members are often sidelined despite being fit to contest assembly elections, raising doubts about whether the party truly values its loyal cadre.
It is also disappointing to see preference given to ageing politicians with declining capabilities over young and energetic leaders who can bring fresh ideas and dynamism.
Equally worrying is the BJP’s dependence on horse trading to form governments rather than relying on a genuine electoral mandate. Such practices create an impression of power politics driven by greed, damaging public trust and the party’s image.
The party’s increasing focus on religious politics has also alienated many voters and affected its electoral prospects. To regain credibility, the BJP must strengthen internal democracy, empower committed workers, promote young leadership, and focus on governance instead of divisive politics.
