Kumar Shailendra Says BJP Candidate Selection Involves Multi‑Level Decision

Bihar government minister Kumar Shailendra clarified the BJP’s internal mechanism for choosing election candidates. Speaking on September 12, he said the party does not comment on the internal affairs of other groups, but it can describe its own process.

According to Shailendra, the BJP’s candidate‑shortlisting involves several layers of discussion, ranging from local functionaries to senior state and national leaders. The final verdict is taken by the party’s top brass, including the national president and other senior figures, after extensive deliberation.

He highlighted that this structured approach ensures coherence across the party’s ranks and helps avoid ad‑hoc decisions during the election cycle.
