BJP begins review, tickets to MPs based on standing among voters …..  ET  /  31 July 2023

 

Extract :

 

 

With an eye on the 2024 Lok Sabha polls, the BJP has started assessing the performance of its existing MPs which could be used during the ticket selection process, sources said.

For this review, the services of various agencies and its in-house mechanism is being used, party sources said

 

They said :

 

Ø  the MPs' efforts at people's contact,

Ø  participation in various outreach exercises of the BJP,

Ø  their standing among voters, and

Ø  engaging with voters on the social media,

 

-          were some of the factors considered for the review exercise.

With several Union ministers, who are MPs from the Rajya Sabha, being considered for Lok Sabha tickets, top leaders in the BJP said a final call would be taken by the party. The seats for them would be allotted by assessing the winnability aspect.

In the 2019 polls, the BJP got more than 37% of the vote share, the highest by a political party since the 1989 general election, and won 303 seats, increasing its 2014 tally by 21 seats.

 

It was the second time in India's independent history that voters re-elected the same party to power with a bigger majority to the Lok Sabha.

 

My Take :

 

BJP had tried this ( assessment of performance of sitting MPs ) 5 YEARS ago , by launching a mobile app called “ People’s Pulse “

 

That turned out to be an unmitigated disaster  !  To know why, read on following blog

 

Question :

 

Has BJP read my blog ( sent as email to all Cabinet Ministers ), and if yes, then will it incorporate my suggestions and come up with a much more “ Citizen-friendly “ APP , this time around ?

Dear Narendrabhai,

 

This morning, from the ramparts of the Red Fort , you delivered an emotion-charged speech with the very powerful message of :

 

Ø  Corruption      :  Quit India

Ø  Appeasement  :  Quit India

Ø  Dynastic Rule  :  Quit India

 

Whether you will succeed in this , largely depends on pushing through REFORMS in the next Lok Sabha

 

In turn, this will depend upon BJP getting , more than 300 Lok Sabha seats in 2024

 

Which , in turn , will depend upon your selection of the RIGHT CANDIDATES to fight the election

 

I urge you to suitably modify my following suggestion and launch a Mobile App for citizen to fill in , not only in respect of the “ WINNABILITY “ of the current sitting MPs ( based upon their performance , inside and outside the Lok Sabha ) , but also FRESH / FIRST TIME candidates :
