Rumblings within the BJP over the debacle in Bihar increased Tuesday as seven more MPs from the state spoke out against the party leadership with one of them saying the Prime Minister shouldn’t have tried to stoop to “the level of Lalu Prasad” and focused on the development plank during the assembly election campaign.
These MPs said the central leadership was to blame because they had not been kept in the loop. At least two MPs alleged money had changed hands during distribution of party tickets.
Bhola Singh, in his second term as MP from Begusarai after eight terms as an MLA, blamed party president Amit Shah’s handling of the election and the Prime Minister’s “cheap and undignified language” for the defeat.
“Instead of sabka saath sabka vikas (development plank), Prime Minister started talking about cow meat and Shah on Pakistan. When the electorate tried to find a Prime Minister in Modi, he tried to come down to the level of Lalu and tried to outwit him. But Lalu remains Lalu,” Singh told The Indian Express.
“Amit Shah imported a senapati from Gujarat. He brought (Navsari MP) C R Patil. Neither he nor any other from the central leadership consulted me or the other Bihar MPs. Seat distribution happened on the basis of ‘marketing’, not on the basis of grassroots-level connections,” he alleged.
A former home minister of Bihar, Bhola Singh said the BJP’s attempts to become a ‘Mandal party’, following RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat’s remarks on caste-based quota, went wrong. “BJP’s attempts to advocate Mandal was like a crow trying to dance with feathers borrowed from a peacock. The crow will remain a crow. Hum kamandal waale party hain. We cannot defeat them on Mandal, because they (Lalu and Nitish Kumar) are its masters,” he said.

BRILLIANT!
This openness can ONLY happen in BJP in India.
I can't imagine any other party members speaking up in ANY other party in India.
India needs more such political parties.
