Modi, Rajnath to Form BJP Panels for 2014 Polls



He said the party was ready if there were snap polls.

Ananth Kumar said that the BJP will adopt a two-pronged strategy - of political campaign and organisational build up - for the polls.

"As part of political campaign, the party will highlight the failures of the UPA government while it will reach every booth as part of organisational strategy," he said.

He said the Congress and United Progressive Alliance (UPA) were under pressure and were breaking from within.

"The Congress does not want to face parliament. There is corruption, economic mismanagement, rise in prices and failure on every front. The Congress is not in a position to face issues of development and good governance," he said.

Ananth Kumar said the Congress had decided to bring an ordinance on food security as it was not sure of support of its own allies.

He said the government had not yet decided dates of the monsoon session of parliament which was normally held in the third week of July.

BJP sources said the decision to have a joint team of Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi and Rajnath Singh to form poll panels indicated a desire to adopt the path of collective decision making for the present.

The sources said the forthcoming assembly polls in five states - Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Delhi, Rajasthan and Mizoram - were the immediate priority for the party.

Party sources said party panels for the Lok Sabha polls could be announced at the next meeting of the parliamentary board.
