The dissatisfaction among the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) State leaders seems to have cast a shadow on the party’s office-bearers and core committee meetings held on Tuesday. A few aspirants and national leaders skipped the meeting citing personal reasons.
According to information, BJP Andhra Pradesh former State president Somu Veerraju, Rajya Sabha member G.V.L. .Narasimha Rao, BJP State vice president Vishnuvardhan Reddy, and Y. Satya Kumar were some of the leaders who did not turn up for the meeting. It is learnt that the BJP leadership tried to contact them and convince them to attend the meeting. They, however, were not available. The leadership, later, conveyed a message to them to be present at the State office on Wednesday. They were informed that BJP national general secretary Arun Singh would interact with them in person, the source said.
“There is no change in our stand that the cadres, who have been working for the party for decades should be recognised. The same thing was communicated to the central leadership through a letter. Tomorrow, we will say the same thing,” said a leader, who did not want to be named.
