Intra-party squabble forced the Mizoram unit of the BJP to cancel its organisational election, which was scheduled to be held yesterday.
General secretary of the Mizoram unit Chhanhima said while the present vice-president Chalngura Jahau was the most likely winner among four contenders, leaders from outside the state tried to install Prof John V Hluna as the state unit president without polling.
BJP members protested against this amidst slogan-shouting and said they want organisational election following which the polling officials left for Assam this morning.
Chhanhima said that no future schedule has been fixed as a detailed report of the developments would be sent to the party headquarters in Delhi.
Earlier, BJP national executive member Tapir Gau, who was appointed as returning officer and observer, failed to appear.
Attacking Chidambaram over reports that he had signed the
first affidavit, Patra said "The lawyer of repute and fame is not finding his voice" as he had been claiming earlier that he had not signed it.
"Now he says he does not know if he signed it. He has been caught in a trap," the BJP spokesperson said.
He alleged that Chidambaram had in 2011 written to the SIT probing the case that the government could not share what Pakistani American terrorist David Coleman Headley said about Ishrat. Headley had claimed that she was an LeT operative.
The fresh information has proved that there was a "design" in Congress leaders referring to terrorists like Osama bin-Laden as Osama ji and Hafiz Sayeed as Hafiz sahab and that "Sonia Gandhi had not slept for nights after terrorists were killed in Batla encounter".
The UPA government "betrayed" the country and Congress cannot be trusted with power, he said.
