Bengaluru, Jun 17: BJP in the state has a serious problem. Collectively they must have spoken enough. But an analysis shows that only few speak and others do not open their mouths at all. Tired by this attitude, state leadership has decided to tell these ‘mouth shut’ leaders to open their mouths.

‘Sometimes it pays to keep the mouth shut’ they say. But nobody knows what these leaders have gained by not speaking because they do not speak at all and express their feelings.

A one day workshop has been organised for all the legislators, parliament members and state level office bearers on Jun 19 at a Yalahanka resort in city. It is believed that ‘mouth shut’ issue will be discussed in the workshop and the people who do not speak at all will be requested to speak up in the future. But the request is not going to be soft, it is learnt.

State BJP chief Prahlad Joshi, opposition leader in the assembly Jagadish Shettar, opposition leader in the council Eshwarappa and former chief minister Yeddyurappa have spoken against the current government when required. Others have not spoken at all sending a wrong signal to the general public.

It even went to the extent of some people criticizing that those leaders were only interested in power. When they were in power, they enjoyed and now they just want to keep silent.

The MPs who have become ministers in the central government are naturally exempted, but some leaders who were in the power with plum posts have not been active in the recent past. While various issues will be discussed in the workshop, the issue of mouth shut will also get importance. The leaders will be taught why, when, what and how should they speak. Probably they will also be told what will be done if they do not speak.
