BJP, cong initiate damage control exercise
Gwalior: With the approaching date of Assembly election, the BJP and the Congress are trying their best to control the damage to be caused by their dissident candidates. The impact of sabotage is being leaders of both the parties. This is causing concern in the senior leaders of both the parties. It may be recalled that no election has been immune from sabotage. It has become a common phenomenon in every election from corporator to MP. The party takes the initiative to check the sabotage but sabotage seems inevitable everytime. Some leaders make the party hollow by remaining inside while others openly sabotage the party in connivance with other party. No party is immune from this disease. Congress sent its decedents to other places for campaigning for their candidates. The BJP also followed the Congress tactics. BJP sent Mahendra Singh Yadav from Gwalior to Dabra for canvassing. But there is no guarantee that their supporters would not sabotage the party.
