New Delhi:
The BJP battles for the future as it deals with dissent and a war of succession after its disastrous performance in the elections.
The party's office bearers are meeting on Friday evening to decide on the agenda for the national executive that begins on Saturday. They will also work out the contours of the party's political and economic resolutions, that is, the road ahead.
The party's new Leader of the Opposition in the Rajya Sabha, Arun Jaitley, who was in charge of strategy for the elections, will not attend Friday's meeting as he has resigned from the post of general secretary, citing the 'one-man, one-post' principle.
Earlier, senior leader Yashwant Sinha threw a bombshell by quitting all party posts and accusing the leadership of ignoring the principle of accountability and a conspiracy of silence.
This came just after senior leader Jaswant Singh openly questioned the meaning of Hindutva in an explosive interview to NDTV.
LK Advani's close aide Sudheendra Kulkarni wrote an article saying that there is complete disarray in the top leadership.
With LK Advani making it clear he wants to quit as Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, a succession battle has started though Sushma Swaraj seems to have won the battle for now by becoming the deputy leader.
