Rajnath Singh takes blame for LS Poll defeat

BJP national executive met in New Delhi on Saturday, party president Rajnath Singh said there would be no compromise on ideology. "There is no need to blame people for poll loss. As the BJP president, I take responsibility for poor election results," he said. He also said that people like said Atal, Advani and Upadhyay raised the party and their role couldn't be questioned. The BJP held a press conference at the party headquarters after the meeting, where party spokesperson Ravishankar Prasad described Hindutva as eternal. "It is not a defeat for the party at the national level and India is going toward bipolar politics," he said.
He also said that the party believed in collective responsibility. Over the last few weeks, there has been one showdown after another, with many senior BJP leaders like Jaswant Singh, Arun Shourie and Yashwant Sinha raising their voices of rebellion. While their letters criticised the way the party approached the election campaign, many felt that the source of discontent was actually a war of succession.
