This election season whether the BJP or Congress faces the danger of factionalism since bogh declared candidates for in Dhanbad Lok Sabha seat.
WhileBJP starts damage control exercise whereas Congress is yet to take any such step.
Efforts are on to normalize everything by either sides and hopefully for this Jharkhand BJP in-charge Laxmikant Vajpayee reached Dhanbad on Sunday and met selective leaders of different castes besides MLAs of assembly constituencies that play a big role in shaping the outcome of Dhanbad Lok Sabha seat .
Sources said, Laxmikant Vajpayee met the leaders and urged them to increase activism in favor of the controversial BJP candidate Dhullu Mahto .
The state in-charge also took feedback after talking to the leaders and urged them to step up campaigns in favour of party candidates . It can be said that his main objective was to pacify the dissidents. First of all Laxmikant Vajpayee met Dhanbad MLA Raj Sinha at his residence. After a long conversation with him he reached Singh Mansion and talked to former MLA Kunti Singh and Ragini Singh for a long period . Thereafter, he moved to Nirsa and met Nirsa MLA Aparna Sengupta and had discussions with them. He also hinted that failure in securing Dhanbad seat may also affect their future too as assembly elections are not far away.
On other hand in Congress too, the needed activism for party candidates is not visible here .Alike BJP Congress too faces internal factionalism. However, till now no senior Congress leader from state or centre has yet reached Dhanbad to counter this.
