Party Says Congress’s Internal Issues Led to Candidate’s Disqualification
The BJP alleges that internal discord within the Congress caused the denial of Natarajan’s election nomination, calling it a clear sign of the party’s weakening grip.
New Delhi – In a sharply worded statement released on Thursday, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) turned the spotlight onto the Congress, claiming that the opposition’s own internal troubles were responsible for the recent rejection of Natarajan’s nomination paperwork.
According to senior BJP leader Ravi Shankar, the “obvious” reason the Election Commission turned down the candidacy was not a procedural glitch but a symptom of the Congress’s ongoing factional fights. “When a party can’t even sort out who its own candidates are, how can it claim to represent the nation?” he asked, his tone mixing frustration with a hint of sarcasm.
The controversy stems from Natarajan, a veteran politician who had hoped to contest the upcoming Lok Sabha polls from the coastal constituency of Kanyakumari. His nomination papers were returned with remarks about missing signatures and alleged inconsistencies – a move that the BJP insists was orchestrated by a distracted Congress leadership.
Congress spokesperson Priya Deshmukh pushed back, insisting that the rejection was purely technical and that the party was already taking steps to correct any oversights. “We respect the Election Commission’s decision and are filing an appeal. This is not a political drama, it’s about due process,” she said.
Observers note that while the BJP’s attack may resonate with some voters tired of what they perceive as a “disorganized” Congress, the real issue could be deeper: a lingering question about how effectively either party can manage its internal machinery during a high‑stakes election cycle.
Regardless of whose narrative wins out, the episode adds another layer of intrigue to an already crowded pre‑election battlefield, where every denied nomination becomes fodder for political point‑scoring.
