Marathi Weekly Blames NCP for BJP's Lok Sabha Setback

A Marathi weekly associated with the RSS attributes the BJP's recent Lok Sabha election losses to its alliance with Ajit Pawar's NCP, which alienated party workers and supporters. The weekly suggests that BJP's success in other regions, like Madhya Pradesh, stems from better coordination and involving party workers in decision-making processes.

A Marathi weekly linked to the RSS has criticized the NCP for the BJP's disappointing performance in the recent Lok Sabha elections, citing public disapproval after its alliance with Ajit Pawar's faction. Party members expressed disapproval of the BJP's move, describing it as only the 'tip of the iceberg' of internal unrest.

The publication also commended the BJP's coordination and inclusion of party workers in decision-making in Madhya Pradesh, which led to a sweeping victory in that state. In contrast, the BJP's seat count in Maharashtra dwindled from 23 to nine, with allies like Shiv Sena and NCP faring poorly.

An informal survey of over 200 people from various regions highlighted that almost every respondent linked to the BJP criticized the alliance with NCP. The article also touched on the historical roots of the BJP and RSS's sacrifices, questioning their current resonance with younger voters.
