GARHWA: As BJP collapsed in the state, despite its state leaderships were continuously repeating that the party will win and they went on to set numbers (65plus), However, it doesn't shortage the vote shares of Satendra Nath Tiwari, he got more votes than last election held in 2014. However, there seems huge rift within the local leadership of the party which causes the loss here.
From beginning, it looks that BJP was not united at least in Garhwa, the prominent faces of the BJP such as Alakh Pandey, Girinath Singh and Bhagat Sahu couldn't be seen even once among the public during the election. They didn't go and ask for votes in their candidate's favour, however, it is learnt that these leaders have asked their supporters to vote in favour of opposition.
At ground, Girinath Singh had asked his supporters to vote for JMM, in case he doesn't get ticket. Ranka, Ramkanda and some bit of Chinia are believed to be the stronghold of Girinath Singh, and still there are people around him can go at any extend for him.
Alakh Pandey, audacity of the BJP didn't move out to public. While, he said that he was never asked to campaign. He also alleges that sitting MLA doesn't need me, as will win with huge margin of more than One Lakh votes.
While, Bhagat Sahu, one of the OBC faces was totally out of seen entire election campaigns, as it is known that he was a candidate for himself, when he denied ticket, become annoyed with party leadership and stay away from the spectrum. Though, he dismisses the claim made by and stated that I was doing campaign for the party and had too asked the workers to support him.
The strong holds support that party leader delivers was Om Parkash Keshri, the district president of the BJP, who undoubtedly supported Mr. Tiwari all over the poll season.
Reacting on the results, District President, Om Parkash Keshri told that the analysis will be made and action against those will be taken in due course. We have already identified few people, who oppose the party during poll.
