past experiences point in the same direction
Looking at the organizational set-up during the last several Lok Sabha elections, the talk of betting on a Brahmin gets enough momentum. During the 2004 Lok Sabha elections, the command of BJP was in the hands of Keshari Nath Tripathi. Lok Sabha elections were held in 2009. At that time the state BJP captain was Ramapati Ram Tripathi. During the 2014 Lok Sabha elections, the BJP’s state president was Laxmikant Vajpayee and in 2019 Dr. Mahendra Nath Pandey.
