The dedication, struggle, and sacrifice of the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) devoted workers hold immense significance in the party’s organizational structure. These individuals have selflessly, without any personal interest, served the party for years, whether through representing the party in legislative assemblies or keeping its ideology alive through various movements. However, recent developments have caused a deep sense of pain among many of these dedicated workers, a pain that needs to be understood and openly discussed.
Hussainabad: A blow to hearts of dedicated workers
The inclusion of NCP leader Kamlesh Singh into the BJP and the news of his potential ticket allocation have caused a stir among the party workers. In Hussainabad, dedicated workers like Vinod Singh, Colonel Sanjay Singh, and Kushwaha Shivpujan Mehta (AJSU) have fought for the party for years. They stood by the party in every movement, faced every opposition, and worked hard to implement the party’s principles on the ground. Notably, these workers openly opposed Kamlesh Singh’s political activities. The dedication and loyalty they have shown toward the party go beyond just electoral numbers or strategies. It symbolizes a belief they have placed in the values and principles of the BJP.
If Kamlesh Singh is granted a ticket, for these workers, it won’t just be a political decision but an emotional blow. They will wonder if their years of hard work and struggle have led to this outcome. Do their contributions to the party hold no value? This situation will not only hurt their emotions but could also plant seeds of rebellion and dissatisfaction within the party.
Bishunpur: Workers’ attitude and new faces
A similar situation appears to be emerging in the Bishunpur Assembly constituency. Speculations surrounding local MLA Chamra Linda joining the BJP have sparked a wave of concern among party workers. Despite an anti-incumbency sentiment against Linda, if he is given a ticket from the BJP, dedicated workers like Bhikhari Bhagat, Tembu Oraon, and Ashok Bhagat, will feel disheartened and disappointed.
These workers stood by the party even during tough times. When the party was out of power, they still upheld the BJP’s principles and ideology. But if new entrants are given tickets solely based on political equations, it would be seen as an insult to their years of struggle and dedication. This could lead to a decline in their morale, and they might begin to question whether their selfless dedication holds any value in the party.
Balancing dedication and electoral victory
Here, an important question arises for the BJP leadership. The party cannot be run purely on emotions. Winning electoral seats is essential to forming a government, and sometimes giving new faces an opportunity becomes a part of electoral strategy. The BJP needs to devise a plan to win every seat to form the government, and, indeed, new faces may sometimes be required to face new challenges.
For any political party, electoral victory is paramount because the party cannot function on emotions alone. A government can only be formed if the party wins in the electoral field, and strategic decisions are necessary to achieve that. However, it is equally important to ensure that the dedication and contribution of the workers are not ignored in this strategy.
Pain of workers: A sign of a deep internal crisis
It would not be wrong to say that the pain in the hearts of the BJP’s dedicated workers is not just external but points to a deep internal crisis. The organizational structure of the party has always rested on the dedication of its workers. They are the backbone of the party, and if their emotions are hurt, the long-term impact could affect the party’s unity and strength.
A significant question arises for the BJP leadership—how to maintain a balance between new faces and old workers? New faces may be needed for electoral victory, but does that mean the emotions and struggles of the party’s dedicated workers should be disregarded? Can the party make decisions solely based on political equations without considering how they will affect the hearts of the workers?
The road ahead for BJP: Respecting organization and dedication
The BJP must proceed with patience and balance in this situation. The party needs to understand that while electoral strategies are important, maintaining the dedication and trust of its workers is even more crucial. If the workers start to feel alienated from the party, it will have a long-term impact on the party’s organizational structure.
The party leadership should engage in dialogue with the workers, and listen to their emotions and concerns. If a new candidate is given a ticket, the workers should be involved in the process, so they feel that their contributions are also part of the decision-making process. This will not only boost their morale but also maintain internal unity within the party.
The party must also ensure that along with new faces, the old and dedicated workers are given due respect and recognition. This balance will not only lead to electoral victory but also strengthen the organization and ensure long-term success.
Ultimately, understanding and respectfully resolving the pain of BJP’s dedicated workers should be a priority for the party. If the party values the emotions of its workers, it will not only be a step toward electoral success but also deepen the roots of the organization, which is the greatest strength of any political party.
Final Note:
The BJP leadership must ensure that both emotions and strategy are balanced. Giving importance to the voices of workers will become the foundation for the party’s long-term strength.
