Delay in party’s organisational polls bares feud in Ganjam BJP

BERHAMPUR: The Ganjam BJP is reportedly dogged with factionalism and the delay in holding its organisational elections in the district has made matters worse for the saffron party.

Despite making convincing electoral gains in the district in 2024 general elections, the BJP is struggling to share the spoils as party cadres continue to remain loyal to their respective factions.

Sources said before the general elections, a cold war had started in the district BJP between factions led by party loyalists and new entrants. After BJP’s thumping win, it was hoped that the infighting would end but six months down the line, the rift has only widened further in the district.
