Winning 24: BJP plans big for LS poll

Deccan Chronicle  

Belagavi: With BJP president Amit Shah scheduled to visit Karnataka next month, party legislators will meet here tomorrow to discuss preparations for next year's Lok Sabha polls and draw up a strategy to meet the target set by central leaders: victory in 24 of the 28 Lok Sabha seats. In addition to preparations for Lok Sabha polls, legislators would also chalk out a plan for agitation against the state government in the near future in the wake of instructions from central leaders to organize more protest rallies against the state government on various issues. The state unit also accused the Congress of failing to keep its poll manifesto promise of waiving farmers' loans even after the lapse of six months since its coalition government with JDS was formed. The remarks came in the wake of Congress president Rahul Gandhi's statement that the Congress had waived farmers' loan and would do so in Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan, where the party won the recent Assembly elections.
