New Delhi: The leaders of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Congress are taking feedback from party workers to maintain “transparency and inclusivity” in the selection process but in different ways. These leaders have been given the task of finalising candidates for the Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh assembly elections.
In Rajasthan, BJP leaders are camping in the Jain temple town of Ranakpur in Pali district, gathering responses from former workers, elected representatives and office-bearers on possible candidates, party leaders familiar with the matter said. In Madhya Pradesh, BJP leaders have been assigned districts, so that they can get names of prospective candidates from functionaries at different levels, state party leaders said.
