BDJS meet today to discuss course of action
The emphatic defeat suffered by the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) in the Assembly polls is set to deepen the schism between the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Bharath Dharma Jana Sena (BDJS).
BDJS sources said party president Thushar Vellappally was giving serious thought about resigning from his position as State NDA convener in protest against the BJP’s “one-upmanship attitude”.
The party’s State council meeting to be held on Wednesday would take a final call on resignation and whether to continue in the NDA, said a senior BDJS leader.
The BDJS, considered the political arm of the Sree Narayana Dharma Paripalana (SNDP) Yogam, which contested in 21 seats in the Assembly polls had drawn a blank. The party’s vote share, compared to the 2016 Assembly polls, has plummeted this time.
