LUCKNOW: The state executive committee of the
BJP concluded in just one day against the tradition of members
holding brainstorming sessions
for two to three days.
Some members also voiced their dissatisfaction that there were no
resolutions
on political and current affairs, agriculture and economy.
In the past, such meetings always brought in resolutions on different subjects and the members deliberated and adopted a resolution to draw a roadmap for the party’s future plans and programmes.
Vice-president of the
BJP Daya Shankar Singh
though said that when the party is in power its role is to carry the government’s message to the people and showcase its performance and when in Opposition, it has a different role.
Therefore, there was no need for adopting political and economic resolutions.
Also, he said, the executive committee was actually for two days. On the first day, the office-bearers of the organisation had their separate meeting and the main conference was held on the second day.
A section of the BJP office-bearers and executive members wanted to take up the issue of the high court rejecting the new reservation system in the state’s panchayat elections and the delay in holding them as well as the panchayats being run by administrators.
Former MLA from Ballia, Ram Iqbal Singh, also attempted to raise the issue of corruption at the lower level in administration.
Some members said that since hardly a year is left for the next assembly elections, the party should adopt political resolutions.
Those who wanted detailed discussion in the state executive committee meeting lamented that the entire exercise of the conference turned into praising the government and taking its achievements to the public, while ignoring the main role of keeping a watch on the functioning of the state government and drawing a roadmap for the future.
