News India Live, Digital Desk: The noise of the elections has subsided, the results have come, but the real “earthquake” is yet to come within the RJD (Rashtriya Janata Dal). It is said, ‘The betrayal of our own hurts more than the attack of the enemy’. It seems that Rashtriya Janata Dal is currently going through this pain and now it is in no mood to tolerate it.
The news is coming that the party has started the review of its defeat, and what is coming out is shocking. RJD has realized that on many seats it has been defeated not by its opponents but by its own party leaders.
Identification of those who committed “infiltrators” begins
The party high command has adopted a very strict stance. There is silence in the state office of RJD, but huge preparations are going on inside. A report has been sought from the district presidents and in-charges as to where the mistake occurred? And the most important question-Who worked internally to defeat the party’s candidate?
Such leaders are being identified who were angry at not getting tickets or who were seen together in the campaign but were getting votes for the opposition. In the language of pure politics, this is called “infighting”.
the stick of discipline will prevail
If sources are to be believed, the party is making a ‘blacklist’ of such leaders. No matter how old a leader or influential he is, if it is proved that he has tried to extinguish the “lantern” in the elections, then it is certain that strict action will be taken against him. Such people can also be suspended or expelled from the party.
Tejashwi Yadav and Jagdanand Singh (if playing an active role) or the state leadership want to send a clear message that indiscipline will no longer be tolerated. For 2025 (or the next elections), the party needs to “clean up the garbage” now.
Leaders held their breath
After this news, those leaders who had shown laxity during the elections or had secretly helped their opponents have lost their sleep. The report card is being prepared and the result will soon be in front of everyone.
Wins and losses go on in politics, but no party forgets betrayal. This move by RJD shows that the party has now come into ‘action mode’ to strengthen its roots and remove termites. Now it remains to be seen on which big faces the blame falls.
what do you reckon? Should leaders who betray the party get a second chance?
