The BJP is in favour of fielding fresh faces, especially youth in the coming lok Sabha elections. The party is of the view youngsters should be given a chance to come forward in the elections.
Talking to newsmen here on Wednesday, the party’s national president Rajnath Singh said emphasis would be given to Gen X since they had the
fighting spirit to carry foward the party’s ideals and confront their poilitical adversaries. He said the party would soon finalise candidates for the elections.
Replying to queries regarding the party’s performance under Narendra Modi’s leadership, he was confident that the number of seats would definitely increase since Modi had already proved his mettle in Gujarat.
Regarding the party’s agenda for the lok Sabha elections, Singh said the party would emphasise on positive programmes rather than rake up negative policies. He predicted that the elections would be held as per schedule next April-May.
Although Singh declined from commenting on Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav he said that the Samajwadi Party Government had failed to rise
upto the people’s expectations.
