With poll preparations gathering steam in Chhattisgarh, the ‘Poll Campaign Committee’ of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) held its first meeting at the State party headquarters here on Friday.
The meeting was chaired by Chief Minister Raman Singh who is incidentally also the party’s Chairman of the 'Poll Campaign Committee' in the State.
Addressing the members of the meeting, Singh stated that the prime focus of the forthcoming Assembly polls should be on effective booth management by the party workers.
‘We need to ensure that maximum number of people reach the polling stations to cast their vote,’ he said.
Speaking at the meeting, BJP National General Secretary and In-charge of Chhattisgarh, J P Nadda said that the party has everything from able leadership to an agenda for winning in the forthcoming polls.
He advised party workers to focus on booths they had been assigned and not bother about neighbouring booths assigned to somebody else for positive results.
Nadda asked all the party workers to reach ‘every booth and every household’ in the State and expose the wrongdoings of the Union government.
BJP State President Ramsevak Paikra said that the party has entered the poll fray and our strategies must be such that the Opposition starts losing confidence.
‘The campaigning needs to have such an aggression that the rivals do not get any chance to even get up and react’, he said.
During the meeting, Chairman of the Manifesto Committee and Minister Brijmohan Agrawal besides Chief of literature and Publicity Committee Gaurishankar Agrawal, Chief of Tour Committee Ashok Sharma and Chief of law Committee Naresh Guota put up their preliminary accounts of poll preparation for discussion.

It was also decided in the meeting that the party would send surveyors to all the 11 lok Sabha constituencies on October 3 who would collect the applications of all the aspirants of the seats in the Assembly segments of the State on a single day and later submit a report to the State party leadership.
