New Delhi: An internal report of the Bharatiya Janata Party, which is being discussed at the party's `Chintan Baithak' in Shimla, has reportedly blamed some senior party leader for the BJP's disaster in this year's general elections

The leaders in question are L.K. Advani, Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi and Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha and the party's chief election manager Arun Jaitley, besides other top leaders.

TV channel Times Now has accessed a highly confidential internal report prepared for the Chintan Baithak or introspection meet in Shimla, in which the party outlines the reasons for the poll debacle. The BJP's report is unsparing in its criticism of the BJP top brass, indirectly indicting L K Advani, Narendra Modi and Arun Jaitley for the loss. However, BJP spokesperson Arun Jaitley on August 20 denied that he or any other senior leader had ever seen or heard of such a note.

The report for the first time in detail goes into the reasons for the BJP's Lok Sabha poll debacle. The report was handed over to top leaders as they landed in Shimla on August 19. The report was prepared after open demands by Yashwant Sinha, Jaswant Singh and Arun Shourie for accountability for the so called poll- mismanagement and the rout.
