BJP will make development and governance as points of discussion ahead of the elections, said Ananth Kumar, BJP General Secretary while briefing media persons after party’s central parliamentary board meeting in Delhi today. He said, the BJP is now in election mode, it has come to the phase of election preparedness. More than 100 rallies shall be organized nationwide and all top leaders of party will take part in it.

He said three points will be on the front side of the campaign; corruption under Congress led UPA, economic crisis and price hike under Congress led UPA, and failure of present union government on every front.

Ananth Kumar said, “we will compel them(Congress) to fight the polls on the issues of governance and development.”

He said such issues will be taken to grass root level. The campaign will be taken from central level to state level and from there to Lok Sabha seat level and lastly to booth level.

Narendra Modi and Rajnath Singh will consult other party leaders and form various committees, he said. There will be committees like publication committee and more, he added. Such committees shall be formed in next seven to ten days.

He said party has two strategies for elections- first is political campaign to built an atmosphere. It will include rallies, public meetings and sammelans of various segments. The second shall be an organizational strategy upto booth level.

When asked about Digvijay Singh’s remarks on Bihar bomb blasts, Ananth Kumar replied: Whatever Digvijay Singh says is not of any importance to us.

Ananth Kumar said the party is ready for snap polls. He said the party shall fight the elections on the issue of corruption in Congress led UPA and economic crisis.

He said five states are going to elections in October, and Congress-led UPA is running away from people. In such circumstances the BJP will compel them to reply what Congress govt did for security, for scams, for price hike etc issues.
