While the Bharatiya Janata Party has denied tickets to more than 120 sitting Members of Parliament in view of the anti-incumbency associated with them, many candidates fighting on the Lotus symbol and as a part of the larger National Democratic Alliance (NDA), are facing anger from voters for not being “with them” for the most part of the last five years, and being inaccessible.
Such reports are coming to the party headquarters especially from Bihar, the Northeast, Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh.
In Bihar, the party candidates and those contesting as a part of the NDA are facing similar angry protests with voters complaining that the MPs, for the better part of the last five years, did not come and meet them nor did they give them a proper audience when they went either to Patna or Delhi with their problems.
