Who the BJP workers are blaming for the bypoll loss

March 15, 2018 10:09

Inside a Whatsapp group of BJP workers, here's who they blamed for UP bypoll losses.

"Some posts place the blame squarely on BJP chief Amit Shah. They say the BJP didn't listen to Yogi (by giving the ticket to someone who's not from the Gorakhnath peeth). In its eagerness to snub him, the party forgot it did not have its own standing in Gorakhpur. The BJP exists there only because of the influence of the Gorakhnath peeth. Shah was mistaken to believe, one message said, that the seat was won because of the BJP. He thought anybody who's made to contest Gorakhpur would win. Now he must have understood how Yogi can show the BJP its place."
