RSS takes note of resentment in NDA, rival camp

The article on ticket distribution cites the example of Bhagalpur, where the BJP has fielded Arijit Shashwat, son of party MP Ashwini Kumar Choubey. It says the party’s local workers are upset with the decision.

It cites an instance from September 21 when RLSP ticket aspirant Ashok Gupta wailed at a press conference and rolled on the floor, alleging bribery in deciding the ticket for Narkatiaganj. The article notes there is dissent in the LJP too “but party leader Chirag Paswan has managed to pacify some dissatisfied leaders to an extent”. Having brought up those instances, the article says resentment among BJP workers over ticket distribution is less than that in other parties.

While the article attacks Lalu Prasad for using the RJD to promote his family in politics, it observes that relatives of BJP leaders too got tickets but justifies that by stating that these relatives are dedicated party workers. The article says Choubey’s son Shashwat senior leader Ganga Prasad’s son Sanjeev Kumar Chaurasia, for example, have been working in the party organisation for a long time.
