BJP’s star campaigner and prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi will give rest to his vocal cords after the elections in five States get over. Sources close to Modi said that he would not attend major public meetings for at least a fortnight after December 4.
However, workaholic Gujarat Chief Minister would utilise the period by taking up strategic issue pertaining to upcoming lok Sabha elections. Modi is expected to attend series of meetings to review gradation of lok Sabha constituencies from various States.
The way Gujarat Assembly constituencies were bifurcated in A, B and C grade in context of winning chances, Modi has given task to all the State unit heads, said a senior BJP leader adding that the reports pertaining to gradation would be submitted to BJP high command.
In December, he will also participate in series of saffron party meetings to work on manifesto, issues to be taken up in campaign of general elections and even review on result of elections in five States that include Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Delhi, Rajasthan and Mizoram. Besides, being party’s prime ministerial candidate, Modi’s will have to play key role in the allocation tickets for lok Sabha constituencies across the country as well as seat sharing with NDA alliances.
Sources said that effects of constant traveling and speeches in sequence of public meetings - on some days as many as four to five rallies - are being seen on his energy level and throat. “He would require refraining from rallies for 10-15 days to give much needed rest to vocal cords once election campaign completes in election bound States,” said Modi’s close aide.
With eye on ‘Magical figure’ of 272 seats in general elections 2014, Modi will again start addressing public meetings in the later part of December. He is due to address public rallies in Uttar Pradesh, Goa and Uttarakhand during the month.
