Varanasi: BJP’s lotus (celebration symbol), which bloomed for the first time in Ballia in 2014, seems to be in afflicted waters in 2019 as the supporters of incumbent MP Bharat Singh are on a warpath after he was denied price ticket for the parliamentary election and endured their protest on the second one day on Thursday. Party leaders, then again, claim that the issue could be looked after out quickly.
Singh has been changed via Bhadohi MP Virendra Singh in Ballia for Lok Sabha polls. Slogans like ‘Virendra Singh vapas jao’ (Virendra Singh return) and ’BJP se Bharat Singh nahi to koi nahi’ (Bharat Singh or nobody else) raised via his supporters. However, BJP senior leaders take it casually claiming that the protest would no longer damage celebration’s prospect and things could be managed.
BJP men took out a procession from the premises of Ballia Zila Panchayat to the celebration place of work, the place they sat on dharna. Raising slogans in opposition to Virendra Singh, they demanded from the central leadership to withdraw its resolution of fielding Virendra Singh from Ballia Lok Sabha seat.
“We are shocked after realizing the decision of the ‘kendriya netritva’ (central leadership) to field Virendra Singh from Ballia rather than Bharat Singh,” said the latter’s supporter Ashok Singh.
“The resolution would prove pricey to the celebration in Ballia within the parliamentary poll,” he warned including that the celebration workers would no longer settle for Virendra Singh in Ballia as he had done nothing for the district. Some of them also burnt the effigy of Virendra Singh as mark of protest.
However, BJP state general secretary Salil Vishnoi claimed that “this can be a temporary upheaval that might be calmed efficiently”. “Such protest is herbal when any person is denied price ticket, but it will no longer hurt celebration’s prospect within the polls,” he informed IdealNews over telephone on Thursday.
In 2014 LS poll, Bharat Singh had defeated two-time SP MP Neeraj Shekhar via a margin of about 1.39 lakh votes. Ballia have been represented via former Prime Minister Chandra Shekhar for 8 times since 1977 to 2004, except 1984 when Jagannath Chowdhary of the Congress received. The seat went to Chandra Shekhar’s son Neeraj Shekhar, who contested on SP price ticket and received in 2007 and 2009.
