Union Minister M Venkaiah Naidu today suggested that the party veterans should have raised their views at a party forum rather than going public. The Minister asserted that the Party would take note of these views and concerns. He said the Parliamentary Board has already decided to take up with all the concerned and discuss the shortcomings that led to the defeat in Bihar.

Mr Naidu referred to Party’s good performance in Maharashtra, Jharkand, Jammu & Kashmir and Haryana where BJP is in power, as also in municipal body elections of Assam, Punjab, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, even Bengaluru, Andaman and Ladakh. The Party also made spectacular inroads in the neighbouring state of Kerala where we used to be very weak, he said.
