With no sign of top leaders of the BJP finding a solution to the turmoil in the party over the leadership issue, the party national executive meeting, scheduled for Oct.28-29 has been postponed indefinitely. However, party leaders said that the meeting could now be held in the second or third week of November. The BJP parliamentary board meeting in New Delhi on Oct. 22, after the Assembly election results come in, may take a final decision on the next executive meeting.
Meanwhile, reports say that party leaders are still not agreed on forcing Rajasthan BJP leader Vasundhara Raje to quit as leader of the opposition in the state Assembly. The Parliamentary Board of the party had asked her to quit the position a couple of months back.
Turmoil would end soon: RSS
The RSS, the mother organization of the Sangh Parivar, has in the meantime said that the turmoil in the BJP would end soon. Speaking to media persons in Rajgir, Bihar, at the end of the RSS national executive meeting on Oct.11, spokesperson Ram Madhav said the organization expects the BJP to return to normal soon.
Reports say that the RSS is seeking to line up a new BJP leadership to revive the party. The RSS wanted the BJP to espouse a model making villages the focus of development and to reach out the youth.
