After a series of back-to-back meetings over two days in Punjab, the state BJP in-charge Vijay Rupani on Wednesday declared the saffron party’s readiness to contest all 13 Lok Sabha seats independently.
Rupani’s statement came amidst the BJP’s recent triumph in three significant states, showcasing their dominant position in the political landscape.
Accompanied by Punjab BJP president Sunil Jakhar, Rupani shared their insights into the party's strategy during a joint press conference after holding meetings with BJP core group, district leadership, senior leaders, contesting candidates, morcha heads, among others. The two expressed confidence in their ability to sweep all 13 Lok Sabha seats.
Former Gujarat Chief Minister, Rupani affirmed that the BJP is fully prepared to secure victories in all 13 Lok Sabha seats in Punjab. He maintained that the saffron party is actively formulating and executing its election strategy, and “our campaign would continue until the semifinals with Jakhar leading the party to the finals”.
The BJP leaders underscored the substantial support garnered from the Vikas Bharat Sankalp Yatra, emphasizing the party's commitment to its proactive policies.
Rupani and Jakhar hailed the BJP's resounding victories in the recently concluded assembly elections in three states of Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Chhatisgarh, noting that voters have unequivocally expressed their trust in the party's policies. They remarked on the Opposition's predicament, especially those leaders who had departed from the BJP, describing their political situation as dire.
Both leaders attributed the success of the BJP to the statesmanship of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, asserting that the party's commitment to delivering on electoral promises and fostering prosperity for every citizen resonated with voters.
Jakhar outlined the party's plan to disseminate its policies and programs across every nook and corner of Punjab, aiming to raise awareness and encourage an independent opinion among voters.
Rupani, over the past two days, held a series of crucial meetings with the party leaders covering various issues related to Punjab, including election strategies, the strength of the party in different constituencies, and the appointment of district presidents and coordinators.
The meetings aimed at formulating a comprehensive plan for the upcoming elections and address the specific concerns and aspirations of the people in different regions.
In the wake of the upcoming civic body elections in five municipal corporations, a separate meeting was also held to discuss the electoral strategies and prospects of the BJP in these urban local bodies.
