The bickering in the Mumbai unit of the BJP has come to the fore after the party reconstituted its office-bearers.
Two leaders,Ashish Shelar and Shaina NC,have submitted resignations to unit president Raj Purohit,who announced the party office-bearers last week. While Shelar was the group leader in the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation,Shaina was one of the 10 new unit vice-presidents.
Sources said Shelar was aspiring to become the unit president and was disappointed after Purohit was appointed. They said Shaina was unhappy over being made a vice-president as she wanted to become a general secretary.
Shelar has submitted his resignation (as civic group leader),but a decision on whether to accept it has not been taken, Purohit said on Saturday. Usually whenever a new (city) chief takes over,the group leader quits to enable the new chief to appoint a new person or allow him to continue. Well discuss the issue and take a decision soon.
On Shaina,he said,She appears to be unhappy over the vice-presidents post…I told her that the vice-presidents post was not a small post and even Gopinath Munde was a vice-president once. She has sent a letter,saying that since she is part of the national executive of the party she was not interested in yet another post.
Incidentally,the office-bearers announced by Purohit included 10 vice-presidents,10 secretaries and five general secretaries.
