“This has unnerved all those who had written off the party because of their little political understanding and lack of connect with the people,” he said in the statement. Rana said that the elections to the grassroots level democratic institutions had also exposed the BJP’s fragility with its sitting Member of Parliament, and J&K President and two former ministers being rejected by the electorate in their home turf. “Such is the credibility deficit in the party that its leaders have been seeking votes, even for panchayats and DDCs, in the name of Prime Minister Narendra Modi as their individual performances have been dismal. They failed on all fronts in deliverance during the past six years. The development and employment generation received a huge dent. The BJP also left the daily-rated workers in lurch and promises about packages proved hoax,” he said.
