Jayant Sinha clarifies he voted via postal ballot amidst allegations.
Sinha states he informed BJP leadership of his decision to step back in March.
He alleges no senior BJP leaders contacted him for election activities post-announcement.

In a recent turn of events within the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), outgoing Hazaribagh MP Jayant Sinha found himself at the center of controversy. On May 21, BJP state general secretary and Rajya Sabha member Aditya Sahu issued a show-cause notice to Sinha, questioning his absence from the election campaign for BJP candidate Manish Jaiswal and his purported failure to vote on the polling day of May 20.

Responding promptly within the stipulated two-day period, Sinha took to social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter) to post his detailed response. He contended that the allegations against him were unfounded, asserting that he did vote through the postal ballot process. Sinha emphasized that it was incorrect for Sahu to accuse him of neglecting his voting responsibilities.

In his letter, Sinha expressed surprise at receiving the notice through the media rather than directly. He recounted a prior discussion with BJP President J.P. Nadda, during which he requested to be relieved from electoral duties to focus on global climate change issues. This decision, he highlighted, was made public via a tweet on March 2, 2024, underscoring his transparency.

Sinha clarified that his lack of participation in the campaign for Jaiswal and other party events was due to a lack of communication from BJP leaders. He asserted that after his announcement to step back, no senior party officials, MPs, or MLAs from Jharkhand reached out to him for any campaign activities, rallies, or meetings.

Moreover, Sinha revealed that he had personally congratulated Jaiswal on March 8, 2024, through social media, demonstrating his support for the party’s choice. He emphasized that he would have participated in the campaign if requested, but no such invitation was extended to him.

He recounted a specific instance on April 29, 2024, when Jaiswal contacted him to invite him to a nomination rally scheduled for May 1, 2024. Due to the late notice and his location in Delhi, Sinha found it unfeasible to attend. However, he made an effort to travel to Hazaribagh on May 2, 2024, to personally convey his regards to Jaiswal, only to find him absent. Sinha left a message with Jaiswal’s family before returning to Delhi on May 3, 2024.

Sinha further explained that he left India on May 10, 2024, after informing the Lok Sabha speaker, to attend to pressing personal commitments overseas. He reiterated that the party had not asked him to participate in any event, which justified his decision to leave. He also highlighted that he cast his vote via the postal ballot, challenging the notion that he neglected his voting duty.

In his response, Sinha expressed his dismay at the public issuance of the show-cause notice, stating that it demoralizes dedicated party workers and undermines collective party efforts. He conveyed that despite his loyalty and contributions to the party, he felt unjustly targeted.

Sinha concluded by reaffirming his dedication to fulfilling party responsibilities with sincerity and honesty. He urged the party leadership to consider the circumstances and his prior communications before making public allegations.

This internal conflict within the BJP highlights the importance of clear communication and coordination within political parties, especially during crucial election periods. Sinha’s response sheds light on the complexities and potential misunderstandings that can arise when communication channels falter.

This incident also raises questions about the handling of internal disputes and the mechanisms in place to address grievances within political organizations. As the situation unfolds, it remains to be seen how the BJP will navigate this internal conflict and what measures will be taken to ensure better communication and coordination among its members in the future.
