New Delhi: BJP on Monday decided to firmly peg its Lok Sabha campaign on the party’s prime ministerial candidate, Narendra Modi, while taking the message to the people that the conditions prevailing now were akin to those witnessed immediately after the Emergency imposed by Congress in 1975.
General Secretary Ananth Kumar told reporters that the election slogan for the party would be ‘Modi for PM’.
Kumar said, “BJP’s ‘Modi for PM’ campaign will be on the lines of the JP movement that was launched in the Emergency era to throw out the Congress government.”
The meeting was aimed at making the BJP election campaign more aggressive and was attended by members of the Parliamentary Board, its Chief Ministers, state unit heads and other office-bearers.
Kumar said, “The minimum amount to be contributed will be Rs 10 while the maximum limit is Rs 1,000.”
BJP President Rajnath Singh claimed during the meeting that BJP wins in three states and a good performance in Delhi in the recent Assembly polls had set the momentum in favour of the party and would help it in the upcoming Lok Sabha polls.
BJP plans to get more aggressive and will hold more rallies in the coming days after the massive turnout in most of the public meetings addressed by Modi after he was anointed PM candidate.
Party leader said, “The public rallies of our Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi have been a success in several places. There are plans to hold more rallies than were planned earlier. Such rallies of Modi will be held till February and then the party will get into election mode when some of our leaders will address upto three-four rallies daily.”
