The editorial
Source: The Times of India · 19 Nov 2018BJP consistently outdoes Congress in dumping failed MLAs to trump anti-incumbency.
By expelling 53 leaders, among them former ministers too, for refusing to pull out from the election fray in Madhya Pradesh on the last date of filing nominations, BJP has set a bold precedent that Congress, struggling in every election to announce its candidate list fearing rebel menace, may want to emulate. Elections are often decided not just by anti-incumbency against the government but also anti-incumbency against the local elected representative. BJP has understood this better than Congress by denying tickets to sitting MLAs who have performed poorly.
