Sanjay Joshi poster war in Bhopal

This development may prove a big headache for the BJP

Bhopal, June 21, 2012 (HMNS): The poster war between Narendra Modi and Sanjay Joshi, which had rocked the political circles in Gujarat, has now entered Madhya Pradesh. After Delhi and Gujarat, posters with slogans like 'Sanjay Joshi Zindabad'have surfaced in Bhopal.

This development may prove a big headache for BJP as posters point fingers at policies, ideology and intentions of BJP. However, posters neither mentioned name of Narendra Modi nor any other big shots of the party like Shivraj and Prabhat Jha. But it had a catchy punch line - BJP Karti Hai Vichardhara Ki Rajniti- Par Na Vichar Hai, Na Suvichar, Keval Atyachar ( BJP believes on ideology based politics but it neither has any ideology nor thoughts. It commits only atrocities).

BJP with the help of BMC got the posters removed. The posters were pasted in BJP office, Link Road, New Market, Academy of Administration, CM residence. The posters which were of 3 feet by 2 feet carried the partys symbol lotus. The punch lines reflects that Sanjay Joshi supporters are hurt with decision of party high command.

However, Sanjay Joshi has not only denied his role in poster war but also appealed that such incidents should not happen. It is a mere co- incidence that a few days back, Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan had picketed for the cause of farmers, where Sanjay Joshi was present.

There is no dearth of Joshi supporters in Madhya Pradesh. Even party general secretary Arvind Menon is believed to be very close to Joshi. Joshi was given clean chit in the CD- case in Madhya Pradesh. Being national general secretary Joshi had played a key role with Pramod Mahajan, Arun Jaitely, Rajnath Singh in making Shivraj Singh Chauhan as CM instead of Babulal Gaur. Clarifying his relation with Narendra Modi, Joshi had said, " Party is above persons". Besides, fresh posters were pasted in Ahmadabad highlighting LK Advani and Nitin Gadkari at feet of Narendra Modi. However, it is still not known who is behind such posters war.
