In a surprise move, BJP State organising general secretary G.V. Rajesh has been abruptly relieved of the responsibility. Though he had one more year left in his three-year term, he has been shifted elsewhere.

It is a tradition in the BJP to draft a person from the RSS to manage its organisation as organising general secretary. Now Mr. Rajesh has been moved to the RSS wing Samarasya.

While no official reason has been cited for the move or a formal announcement made, speculations are rife in party circles that he may have been removed for not being able to maintain “individuality” amidst the presence of stalwarts in the party organisation that is allegedly gripped by groupism.

The party State leaders also seek to link the shifting of the low-profile Mr. Rajesh to the alleged failure to prevent some of the party hardliners from turning rebels in the last one year.

Also, there were murmurs that the party organisation was becoming stagnant in the last couple of years and the connect between the party and its cadre was becoming thin.
