Lok Sabha Elections 2024: The battle to form the government at the Centre has already begun with parties across the country leaving no stone unturned to woo the voters and get as much support from other parties as possible. While the opposition faces a mammoth challenge of dethroning the BJP after the recent setback in Tripura, Meghalaya and Nagaland, the BJP eyes to claim what it could not in the 2019 Lok Sabha polls.
In the 2019 general elections, the saffron party won 303 seats, more than required to form the government. But before the next year’s Lok Sabha elections, the party is eyeing to snatch the 160 seats it lost last time. And again, the responsibility lies with the face of the party – PM Narendra Modi. According to ANI, the Bharatiya Janta party is planning to hold more than 45 rallies for Pm Modi in these constituencies.
The report added citing party sources that BJP President JP Nadda is in process of developing strategies on the basis of feedback he is getting from the ground.
The party has asked its three national general secretaries Sunil Bansal, Vinod Tawde and Tarun Chugh to undertake preparations for these rallies of the Prime Minister. These Lok Sabha seats have been divided into different clusters by the party to develop a foolproof strategy, ANI cited sources.
"These Lok Sabha seats where the party had lost last elections have been divided into different clusters and each cluster has 4 seats. These big public meetings of Prime Minister Modi will be organized in these clusters. A strategy has been made to hold about 45 to 55 rallies or public meetings on these seats by PM Modi," said sources as quoted by ANI.
"Apart from this, these 160 seats are divided separately into two parts (each part has 80 seats) under the strategy. Nadda will hold rallies in the first 80 seats and public meetings of Home Minister Amit Shah will be organised in the other 80 seats," sources added, quoted ANI.
ANI mentioned sources as saying that PM Modi’s public meetings will be organised in the form of foundation stone laying or inauguration of the project of the Centre or BJP-ruled state governments.
The sources added that BJP is of the view that these rallies and public meetings of big party leaders on these 160 seats will create a favourable environment for the party ensuring it has a chance to return to power for the third time in the 2024 general elections.
They added that this will be the first phase of campaigning. After this, the saffron party will begin campaigning in the remaining 383 seats.
