However, the party sources said that but the bigger role will be played by the booth committees which not only have the objective of making them member but have the responsibility of bringing to the programmes of the BJP and take them to the booth on the day of polling. The BJP wants its number in every Lok Sabha as invincible so as per its plan it wants to take up to 51 per cent.

The party has decided to participate in voter revarification programme of the ECI but it is gathering information through booth committees and private agencies which is being managed from its old headquarters at 11 Ashok Road. A BJP leader in the state said that the UP BJP is in the direct supervision of the national president of the BJP Amit Shah so there is no laxity possible and by September 30, the party will be able to achieve the target.
