Delhi BJP leaders indulging in nepotism: Party leader

Press Trust of India  |  New Delhi 

A BJP has written to party alleging "selfish and complacent" attitude of leaders in the local unit and requested for correctional steps in view of the 2019 polls.

Dharambir Singh, incharge of the booth management department of the BJP, has also asked Shah for disbanding the state unit's highest decision making body -- Core Group, accusing its member of seeking limelight and indulging in nepotism.

Singh was instrumental in the BJP's first booth level workers meet held here on December 23 which was addressed by Shah.

"I have only expressed voice of the workers as I was involved with booth workers meet for one and half years," Singh told

"Contrary to BJP's motto -- nation first, party second, self last....It is self first and party last for most of unit office bearers," Singh wrote to Shah.

The letter written by Singh on December 27, following a booth level workers meet at IGI stadium, has also alleged neglect of organisational works by the current crop of leaders.

"A majority of office bearers are least interested in organizational work and remain busy in visiting senior central leaders, taking credit of big events of the state unit and misleading the key leaders, he wrote.

Singh requested the BJP for the required steps so that these weaknesses do not hinder the party's prospects in the 2019 Lok Sabh polls and elections in the following year.

He also requested Shah to direct Delhi MPs, MLAs and municipal councilors to give importance to booth presidents in local works.

leaders said that Singh's letter was his reaction on being denied due credit for his role in the successfully held booth level workers meet attended by Shah.

"His name was mentioned by during the meet. But, he was largely forgotten and a Delhi BJP conducting the programme did not even once acknowledged his role," said a senior Delhi BJP

Singh has sent copies of his letter to other party leaders, including Delhi BJP
