BJP expecting Lok Sabha polls to be announced 'anytime'

Kolkata, Oct 03: The BJP was expecting the Lok Sabha polls to be announced 'anytime now', senior BJP leader M Venkaiah Naidu said on Thursday.

"We are expecting that the Lok Sabha polls could be announced anytime now. If it is held in December, we have 100 days, and if in March then 150 days," Naidu told a press conference here after addressing party workers.

The BJP campaign committee had decided to expedite the election campaign process across the country. "A total of 100 rallies will be held across the country," he said.

BJP's election plank in the ensuing Lok Sabha polls would be good governance and development, he said. He said that BJP would not join hands with any party like the Trinamool Congress in West Bengal.

"We will field candidate in all 42 Lok Sabha seats in the state," Naidu said.

The BJP was expecting the LS polls to be announced 'anytime now', Naidu said.

The party would hold a massive rally here in January to be addressed by party leaders, including its Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi.

"We plan to hold a massive rally at Brigade Parade ground where top leaders like Narendra Modi, L K Advani, Rajnath Singh, Sushma Swaraj, Arun Jaitley and others will be present," the former BJP president added.
