GANJAM BJP FUNCTIONS WITHOUT CHIEF

Berhampur,13th Jan…The tension that prevails in Khalikote town of Ganjam district,following the attack on BJP leader Anil panda,minimised.On thursday,Anil,the general secretary of Ghumusur BJP district received injuries on his head and two of his supporters too injured,as a group pelted stone on them,while they were discussing infront of their(Anil`s) house.All the three were admitted to Khalikote hospital and while Anil discharged after treatment his supporters Kanhu and Suraya nayak reportedly shifted to MKCGMCH and undergoing treatment.Incidently the attackers are also of another faction of the BJP,even Anil himself alleged before that,the attack was,over the selection of office bearers of the party.Anil in his complaint to police further stated that a person who recently inducted to BJP has masterminded the attack,but he didnot mentioned any name.Following his complaint police apprehended three persons of Harijan street in Khalikote for questioning.Protesting the detection and demanding their immediate relese the residents of harijan street demonstrated infront of the police station.They claimed that the attack allegation not due to political reason,rather a personal one.They alleged ,on last 10th the son of Anil bashed up a minor boy of harijan street and some youths of the street reached Anil`s home to know the reason.As a group near Anil`s residence came forward and a face off resulted.They returned as the detained youths released and assurence for enquary into.Accordingly police registered two cases on the allegation of Anil and the people of Harijan street.Apprehending trouble,police deployed in the area and situation is under control said Chatrapur SDPO,Gourahari sahu.Meanwhile a meeting was convened at Anil`s house and dispute was amicably settled in the presence of leaders of both the groups said Anil adding that the cases would be settled at court.Before the general electrion a cold war started between the BJP factions(old activists and inducted activists)in Khalikote assembly segment.During that period one Dilip pahan who left BJD and joined BJP was killed.No doubt over 20 persons were arrested,but it has widened the factions in the BJP.The factions led by local legislator and another by the senior leaders,still were in confronting mood to establish their respective supremacy.Though the Khalikote issue soled,but the BJP activists and leaders still divided and steps were taken to unite them.The BJP has opened its doors to workers and leaders of other parties as a result of which loyalists were sidelined and factions created.Not only the Khalikote,almost all segments in the district riddled with similar problem and no efforts made by leaders to sortout the factionalism.For smooth functioning the BJP divided Ganjam into their two organisational district Ganjam and Ghumusur.While Dr Subash sahu made the president of Ganjam BJP,Gokulananda malik as Ghumusur district.After the general election Dr Subash was sidelined from the party due to ill remark against minister Bibhuti bhusan jena.Since than Dr Sahu not participating in any BJP function,but the BJP not yet removed or replaced Dr Sahu from the post.However Dr Sahu reportedly requested the state leaders to relieve from the responsibility of president.In a letter to state BJP unit,Dr Sahu wrote that as per the decision of the party,to quit from from posts,after attaining 60 years,he want to be relieved as he crossed 60 years,which so far not responded.On the otherhand Gokul after getting a berth in the Mohon majhi led ministry,the organisational task left on senior BJP leader Bijay swain,who is the acting president of Ghumusur district unit,who too confined himself into his own area.Which virtually left both the BJP districts headless.After a long years of struggle,BJP managed to get the mandate in its favour and demolished the fort of BJD in Ganjam district,by winning 11 MLA seats out of total 13,besides bothe the MP seats.The people in the district hoped that,their problems would be solved by BJP as,after a long time it came to power.But visible differences between the elected representatives not only worried the party higherups,also disillusioned the voters.At present,if one goes by segment wise,all segments has factions,one by the loyalists and the other by turncoats.The relationship between the factions is so bitter that,both wanted to keep themselves away and to impose their supremacy.While the segments represented by loyalists somehow peaceful,but the other segments represented by turncoats has acute factionalism.Now as the BJP started electing office bearers at grassroot level,the factionalism came to fore,which may led to unpleasant situations,if the state leaders not intervene,opined the political observers.However,the senior loyalist leaders hoped that,the situation would be normal after the completion of party election process.
