In their first reaction post the result, several state leaders, with whom The Sunday Guardian spoke, repeated what they had been saying for the last few months-”BJP in Bengal had become a dumping ground of discarded TMC leaders.”Īccording to these leaders, Vijayvargiya and Roy, the two leaders-who were deciding everything even as the other senior man, Arvind Menon strategically withdrew from the campaign in the early months of 2021 in view of the autonomous decisions that were being taken by Vijayvargiya and Roy-were repeatedly asked by mid and lower level BJP cadre not to induct the over 100 TMC defectors whom they eventually ended up inducting, as that was going to hurt the party at two levels-angering the genuine, deserving BJP leaders and secondly leaving the voters, who were looking for change, to end up voting for the new TMC candidate as the existing one was now contesting on a BJP ticket.
Numerous inputs, complaints that were received by the central leadership against the decisions being taken by BJP’s election pointsman in West Bengal, Kailash Vijayvargiya and Mukul Roy about candidate selection and ticket distribution, especially to those individuals who were discarded by the Trinamool Congress proved to be true on Sunday as the BJP failed to cross 100 seats in West Bengal.
