BJP readies list of civic poll candidates
Guwahati: Under the strict supervision of RSS, BJP has almost finalized its list of candidates for the election to the state's local urban bodies, said party sources. The sources added that many candidate names that were submitted by BJP's district core committees were dropped after RSS intervened.
"BJP and RSS are integral parts of our family and RSS's involvement is not new. We, however, fear that so much intervention might send the wrong message to grassroots party workers. Candidate names were forwarded by the district core committees after taking the grassroots workers into confidence. When many of these names were dropped, it disheartened the workers," a senior BJP leader said.
The polls will be held on February 9 and repoll, if required, will be held on February 11. The votes will be counted on February 12.
Though BJP performed well in the Lok Sabha polls, the upcoming election to the urban local bodies is being touted as a litmus test for the party as it is hoping to form the next government inDispur in 2016.
