Senior Biju Janata Dal (BJD) leader Bhupinder Singh has expressed strong discontent over the party’s organisational restructuring and sidelining of senior members.
Singh’s comments have further fueled debates about the BJD’s political allegiances.
Singh, who was recently excluded from key BJD committees, voiced his dissatisfaction with the party’s leadership. He claimed that several senior members, including himself, were sidelined, hinting at a growing internal rift within the organisation.
Singh has expressed his reaction regarding Muna Khan’s dissatisfaction with his position in BJD. Singh mentioned that he heard from media sources that Muna Khan is unhappy with his role in the party. Furthermore, Singh claimed that he has received reports indicating that other leaders who have been given positions are also dissatisfied.
“The restructuring of BJD hasn’t been fair,” Singh stated. “Many seasoned leaders have been left out of crucial decision-making bodies.”
Singh pointed out that BJD has not undergone any significant structural changes, which has led to growing concerns among party members. He warned that if the party does not address these internal issues, it may face difficulties in the future.
Singh further criticised the party, alleging that the BJD has failed to establish itself as a strong opposition and maintains a soft stance towards the BJP. His comments have fueled speculation about whether BJD and BJP share a deeper, undisclosed understanding.
Singh’s remarks add to the ongoing debate about BJD’s political strategy and its relationship with BJP, as well as speculation about potential shifts in party affiliations.
Congress Beckons?
Rumours have begun swirling about Singh’s potential switch to the Congress party, though he insists that no official offer has been made yet. Drawing an interesting analogy, he likened political movements to an IPL auction, implying that political leaders with strong influence are always sought after by various parties.
“In politics, as in cricket, good players are always in demand,” Singh quipped.
As speculation mounts, all eyes will be on Singh’s next move—will he remain with BJD, or embrace a new political journey with Congress?
