Danve the disaster, liability on BJP

- Advertisement -

Unfortunately, BJP chose a wrong candidate as the chief minister of Maharashtra; he is being proven to be the most inefficient CM so far. He is much active on social media but on ground level his performance is utter flop. This is high time, seniors of BJP need to revamp the ministry. The party has committed another blunder by appointing Raosaheb Danve Patil as the President of Maharashtra unit of BJP. During the general elections that were held in May 2014, Raosaheb Danve-Patil won from the Jalna constituency for the fourth time. Immediately, he sworn in as a Minister of State Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution in Narendra Modi led Union Government, till March 2015. Meanwhile, Maharashtra assembly elections were held in October 2014 under the leadership of Devendra Fadnavis. “Mahayuti” stormed to power and Fadnavis became the first BJP Chief Minister of the state. However, as per the BJP culture, one person holds only one post at a time, and hence Fadnavis resigned as the President of Maharashtra BJP and the search for a new leader began. Raosaheb Danve Patil indicated to the party leadership that he was willing to resign as a minister of state and in January 2015, he was appointed as the President of Maharashtra BJP by Amit Shah, the national President of the party. Danve is only the second person in Maharashtra BJP to hold this office while also being a Member of Parliament. Earlier, late Suryabhan Vahadane-Patil had successfully carried the dual responsibility. State BJP has nothing much to perform or display anything on their own as the powers are centralized. But despite receiving opportunity, Danve has proven to be a lame player. He actually has disappointed many times especially when it comes to defending party leaders.

Danve arrogantly announced that the BJP registered one crore new members in his leadership under the “give-missed-call-become-a-member” scheme. He had promised that out of any worker who joins the party, at least 200 new members would be made special executive officers to work with the state government. Not a single worker has been awarded the post yet. A party president’s lies cannot be justified. Several times he gave wrong picture of his achievements, he has assigned private staff to do his social network promotion but that too there is nothing much to talk about his achievements as state president.

Danve was misled and was not updated about the Eknath Khadse issue, he kept on issuing wrong statements. He is the one who defended the stained Khadse, who stepped down as revenue minister on June 4 following the charge of conflict of interest in a land purchase case. In yet another controversy, it has emerged Danve has been staying at a government bungalow allotted to a minister. Anyway, this BJP state president does not know his party workers so far. He lives extravagant life and is always surrounded by some prominent faces, gave no access to common people or other party workers, reaching him is big task. Moreover, he is very egoistic and arrogant. He is with the BJP since its foundation in 1980, but still clueless about party and its workers. He lacks knowledge about many portfolios and constituencies. Meanwhile, when BJP’s National party president asked its tainted minister Khadse to resign from the post, Danve broadcasted that the party was supporting Khadse and he may not resign. He was clueless about the report submitted by Fadnavis to high command, forgetting the fact that BJP already strained guns at Khadse. Danve went on issuing statement in media alone.

Danve takes many decisions seeking Congress leader’s help. Recently, Amit Shah was in search of North Indian candidate for state BJP, someone proposed the name of RN Singh, owner of a Hindi daily. He consulted a tainted Congress leader, Kripashankar Singh, an accused in a disproportionate assets case, on whether RN Singh could indeed be the right candidate for the state BJP. Perhaps, Danve was ignorant about the fact that either the Singh’s had common business interests, or he was powerless of taking a call. Both the possibilities clearly spell out that Danve does not deserve to continue as the state president of a ruling party.

Narendra Modi government completed two years in office, the state BJP unit had organised a celebration at the party headquarters at Nariman Point in Mumbai. Majority of the second rank leaders attended the function but Danve gave it a miss. He was busy in giving interviews to the news channels when the workers needed to take guidance from him on how to project the government’s good work. Can a person who is unaware about his own government’s achievements continue as a state president? Or fit to be at least a party worker?
