Ayodhya, Mirzapur, Lucknow & Etawah: Why there’s unease within BJP about party appointments in UP
BJP’s recent district unit appointments in Uttar Pradesh have sparked a row. Several appointees, like Shivendra Singh (Ayodhya) and Shyam Singh Yadav (Mirzapur), face serious criminal charges. A teacher’s appointment in Lucknow also violated service rules. Internal party dissent highlights non-adherence to norms, including representation for women and castes, raising concerns about the party’s image.
