The image of the leader in question, his acceptance among our cadres and the equations in his constituency must be considered before he is allowed to join the party," said a RSS leader.The Sangh leaders want that not more than 30-35 tickets should be given to turncoats and efforts must also be made to make sure that the local party workers are taken into confidence whenever an outsider is brought into the party.About 27 party office bearers in Basti district submitted their resignations after Congress MLA Sanjay Jaiswal joined the BJP.The Sangh decision assu-mes significance since it comes after BSP president Mayawati’s statement that the BJP did not have candidates of its own and was accepting her party’s "rejected maal".A senior BJP leader, who was part of the deliberations, said on Wednesday that the party was already facing the "problem of plenty" since leaders from other parties were queuing up at its doorstep.At the five day RSS conclave in Lucknow, the Sangh leadership made it clear that importance being given to outsiders was upsetting the party cadres and this could have an adverse impact on the elections.The RSS leadership has asked the BJP in UP not to give more than 35 tickets to outsiders who have recently joined the party."

There is a need to exercise caution while accepting leaders into the party fold.Moreover, some units of the BJP have been resenting the entry of outsiders."The Sangh leaders feel that this influx could have a positive psychological impact on the voters and may also create an artificial feeling of euphoria within the party, but it would damage the party in the long run because cadres are not willing to accept leaders from other parties," he said.The BJP allies, Apna Dal and Bhartiya Samaj Party, will not be included in this quota.The Sangh diktat is likely to put a brake into the entry of leaders from hammock suppliers other parties into the BJP on the eve of UP Assembly elections.
