HYDERABAD: The State Bharatiya Janata Party has expressed satisfaction at the party's performance in municipal elections saying it has a secured sizable chunk of votes, though it was unable to win many seats.
At a briefing after the meeting, K. Laxman, general secretary and S.V. Seshagiri Rao, vice-president, said the indirect elections brought in by the Congress had led astray the electoral strategies of all political parties and vitiated the political atmosphere. Even the TDP, the main opposition party too had failed to turn into votes for itself, notwithstanding "the anti-Congress" feeling among people.
The BJP leaders said in the co-operative elections scheduled in October-end, the party would go it alone, as it would in next year's elections to panchayat bodies. After the elections, around the first week of November, a 3-day "Chintan Baithak" would be held to finalise electoral strategy and the party's roadmap until the next general elections.
Mr. Laxman said a two-member committee would be constituted to look into "acts of indiscipline" in Anantapur and East Godavari districts. Five party leaders had been suspended for going against the party's whip in Dharmavaram. The action of party MLA from Pithapuram Dora Babu had raised a storm in the party where he was quoted in the media as having said that it was only in the interest of development that he had asked people to vote for the Congress.
