The woes of the Opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) have multiplied after its miserable defeat in the Karnataka Assembly elections, as groupism and lack of cohesion in the party are coming out in the open.
Contrary to the belief that the defeat may bring its leaders together, the party is now witnessing mud-slinging as its leaders are indulging in a blame game, trying to point fingers at one another for the poll debacle.
What has caused concern is that the blame game, which is taking place in full public view, has threatened to deepen the already existing divisions within the organisation. This appears to be a continuation of the old political tussle between the pro- and anti-B.S. Yediyurappa camps.
