BJP's Unconventional Strategy in Palanpur: Young Blood Preferred Over Senior Leaders

Palanpur: In Palanpur, the epicentre of Banaskantha politics, the way the BJP has selected candidates today has left big leaders breathless. Though today is the last day to fill forms for the local body elections, instead of releasing any official list, the BJP has directly fielded the selected candidates by'calling '. This unique strategy created a lot of suspense and excitement in the politics of Palanpur. The fort collapsed, the young blood was preferred. In Palanpur Municipality, this time the BJP has adopted a'no repeat theory '. Only 5 corporators from the former body have been fielded again, and these five members are also the ones who had contested for only one term earlier. Which clearly means, the senior leaders and former office bearers who have been in power for years have cleared the cards. At the BJP office'Panchamrit'today, instead of the old enthusiastic Jogi faces, the youth were seen on the phone.
