Coronavirus: BJP chief JP Nadda, RSS leader Dattatreya Hosbole and Uttar Pradesh's organizational in-charge Sunil Bansal were also in the meeting, which reflects deep worry "at the highest level" of the BJP and the RSS over the impact of the pandemic on public perceptions.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah were part of a meeting last evening of the BJP and its ideological mentor Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) to discuss the impact of the Covid crisis on the image of the party and its fallout on state polls next year, sources say. The meeting in Delhi may lead to important decisions on the organization and the government in an attempt to undo the damage before the BJP faces elections next year in states including Uttar Pradesh, the sources say. BJP chief JP Nadda, RSS leader Dattatreya Hosbole and Uttar Pradesh's organizational in-charge Sunil Bansal were also in the meeting, which reflects deep worry "at the highest level" of the BJP and the RSS over the impact of the pandemic on public perceptions. The ruling party is concerned about fierce criticism directed at PM Modi and the government over the deadly second surge of Covid, which caught the country off guard and exposed the ill-preparedness of its health system, with oxygen, medicines, hospitals beds and vaccines falling short.
