After Huge Setback, BJP Workers Want Party To Rethink Its Poll Strategy

A silent churn is under way in the state unit of the BJP, in the aftermath of the saffron party's underwhelming performance in the polls nationally and in TN, with several party functionaries expressing the need to rethink its strategy.

As soon as it became clear the party was drawing a blank in TN despite the tall claims made by state president K Annamalai, functionaries started saying that if the alliance with AIADMK had continued, BJP would have won a sizeable number of seats in TN.

Sources said while most of the state unit's senior leaders dislike Annamalai's approach, the youth functionaries are firmly behind him. They are convinced he will help the BJP's prospects in the long term.
