Post poll BJP snapshot

Hope they can get their act together and start acting as a responsible party in opposition.

Rumblings in the BJP

The post-poll crisis in BJP deepened on Saturday with senior party leader Yashwant Sinha unfurling the banner of revolt on Saturday even as the party struggled to put a lid on the festering faction feud by issuing a gag order. The former foreign minister and vice-president of the party quit all his party posts and mounted pressure on all office-bearers to follow suit. The eruptions have put paid to the effort to sweep the demand for a stocktaking of the debacle under the carpet, by forcing Rajnath Singh to announce that there would be a comprehensive inquest into reasons for the poll defeat.Coming immediately after Jaswant Singh raised the banner of revolt against the party’s decision to “reward” those responsible for the poll defeat, and not going in for a proper “review” of the reasons why, Sinha seems to be raising the same issues as Jaswant.
