Nagpur. Even though there is speculation about its postponement regarding the general elections of the Municipal Corporation, but despite all the speculations, the BJP has started creating an atmosphere in the city and making a surprise victory in the Municipality. This can be gauged from the fact that the government of the opposition party has opened a front against Maha Vikas Aghadi at every level. Although the Congress also has many issues against the BJP, yet the Congress’s fielding is proving to be weak. The state of disintegration in the Congress team is such that the biggest challenge for it is to bring everyone together and coordination first.
According to experts, the results of the recent assembly elections in 5 states have given life to the city unit of the BJP. Due to 15 consecutive years of power in the Municipal Corporation, there were many issues in the hands of the Congress against the BJP regarding development works. But the Congress proved weak in capitalizing on it. Due to lack of coordination between power and organization, Congress could not perform anything in the Municipal Corporation, while many works were carried out keeping the rules in mind. On the contrary, BJP seems to be successful in creating an atmosphere by rising above the weaknesses regarding city development through the Municipal Corporation.
‘Army’ is ready till the booth level
According to political experts, even after the general election of the Municipal Corporation was postponed for some time, the BJP is not allowing any shortfall in its preparations. The process of continuous meetings with the workers is going on. On the one hand, the fear of ticket cut was created among the councilors. At the same time, other workers have been hired to get tickets in lieu of them. According to experts, even after not getting a ticket in the election, the possibility of reducing the rebellion is being done by the BJP leaders.
The leaders believe that their ‘Army’ is ready till the booth level. From the organizational point of view, the workers are also aware of their hold till the booth level. This is the reason why it is not easy for any workers to revolt and win against the party in the elections. A circus is being done by the leaders to keep the workers united among the many contenders in each division. In which for the time being, they seem to be getting success, but after the distribution of tickets in the election, the possibility of the picture being opposite is also being expressed.
Workers are constantly being kept busy
According to sources, sometimes the party’s program and sometimes by resorting to agitation against the opposition party, efforts are being made by the BJP to keep the workers busy. Although the number of BJP workers in the city may not be able to mobilize that much in the movement, but still every effort is being made for ‘event management’. The sight of which was seen recently, when the victory was celebrated by the BJP in the assembly of 4 states. In which the workers took part vigorously in only a few areas. Similarly, a similar picture appeared in the movement against the notice being sent to Fadnavis.
Congress is not emerging from factionalism
According to experts, despite being in power for 15 years, BJP has nothing to count development through MNP. Certainly some plans can be counted but all have been incomplete. On the last occasion of the tenure of 15 years, some populist announcement was definitely made on the way. But only indicative work has been done in the direction of implementing them. In this way, despite the Congress having a full bouquet of issues to oppose, the party looks weak.
According to experts, the Congress lost Punjab, which is likely to register a victory due to factionalism. Learning a lesson from this, the Congress should have started preparations. But in the name of preparations, nothing more than just an online membership drive is being done. Even in the meeting taken for this, there has been a view of factionalism.
