Bengaluru: The modalities for launching the Rath Yatra from four directions by the end of February and other issues were discussed in the meeting held here on Friday January 20, said Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai.
Speaking to mediapersons here on Friday, he said the meeting discussed the programmes to be held this month and the next month, party organisation along with the session, completion of Jan Sankalp Yatra before February and preparation of the District and State level election manifesto and the visit of national leaders to the State.
He said BJP National President J. P.Nadda is coming for the booth-level Vijay Sankalp Yatra to launch it. He will be launching the yatra in Tumakuru. It was decided in the meeting to take the programmes of both the State and Union Governments to every house and hold a district-level convention of various morchas.
The list of candidates will be decided by the High Command. The poll preparations and Jan Sampark programmes were discussed in the meeting. Now, only the preliminary round discussion was held and the next course of action will be decided with former CM B. S.Yediyurappa.
Reacting to KPCC President D. K. Shivakumar’s statement on BJP legislators joining the Congress party in Haveri, Bommai asked Shivakumar to focus on how many leaders will remain in his party. The Congress leader is making such statements out of frustration, he added.
