A joint statement by LK Advani, Murli Manohar Joshi, Shanta Kumar and Yashwant Sinha has sought a thorough review of the BJP's defeat in Bihar assembly elections, stating that the party failed to learn lessons from the fiasco in Delhi assembly elections.
"To say that everyone is responsible for the defeat is to ensure that no one is held responsible," the statement says.
The review should cover the way the party has been forced to kow-tow to a handful and how its consensusal character has been destroyed, the statement says, adding, "the review must not be done by the very persons who have managed and have been responsible for the campaign in Bihar."
The leaders claimed that the principal reason for the latest defeat is how party has been emasculated in last year.

Date of BJP veterans' letter on Bihar polls draws attention:
The letter by veteran leaders of the BJP drew attention on the eve of Diwali, not just for the shot it took at the party leadership but also for the date it carried.
Whether it was a mere typo or a gaffe in the timing of its release, social media had half a field day with both letter and date.
Reactions on social media noted that the letter was dated November 11, but had been released a day earlier.

It isn’t official yet, but time has started running out for Bharatiya Janata Party president Amit Shah, whose term comes up for renewal in January. The attempt to remove him from party’s top post, which was said to have been initiated by Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh chief Mohan Bhagwat when the BJP’s rout in Bihar started becoming apparent, gained massive traction late on Tuesday when four party veterans demanded accountability for the poll debacle.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, however, is said to be adamant about securing another term as party chief for his closest aide Amit Shah, according to a senior BJP leader who is said to be close to both Modi and Shah...
Despite a quick counter to the veterans’ statement, the BJP leaders fear that the revolt, which has the backing of the RSS, will embolden more leaders from across the country, particularly from Bihar, Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra, to speak out against Modi and Shah.
This is more so in the face of the hardening of positions between Modi and Bhagwat on the question of renewing Shah’s term as the party president. The new battle lines in the Sangh Parivar will decide not just the fate of Amit Shah but also whether the BJP remains totally subservient to Modi.
