BJP's only MLA-elect from Tamil Nadu, Bojarajan, on Friday said that all major strategic decisions regarding government formation and the current political crisis in Tamil Nadu will be taken by the central leadership of his party. When pressed by reporters regarding the possibility of a coalition government or the BJP's specific role in the current instability, Bojarajan remained tight-lipped, citing party protocol. ''No, no, no. All of that will be decided by our headquarters,'' Bojarajan said. Responding to queries about communication gaps and the BJP's stance on government formation, the newly elected MLA of Udhagamandalam constituency reiterated, ''Those are policy decisions. I cannot comment on policy; only the high command decides these matters''. Reflecting on the party's performance, Bojarajan admitted to a bittersweet feeling. While victorious in his own seat, he noted the party's overall numbers were not where he had hoped they would be. ''I feel elated, but at the same time, I would have been happy if at least more members had been elected from the BJP,'' he remarked. The MLA-elect expressed deep gratitude to the people of his constituency for placing their trust in him. He vowed to address the lack of development seen over the last five years. ''I offer my heartfelt thanks to all the voters in the constituency for electing me as their representative. I have given many promises in my manifesto, and I am confident they are achievable. People have high expectations because nothing has happened in the last five years. I assure them that I will work to fulfil their expectations,'' Bojarajan stated.
