Confident of its internal survey, which has projected the saffron party gaining ground across the country including in states like West Bengal, Tamil Nadu and Kerala, BJP leadership has decided to implement its “Karyakarta Mahakumb” (party worker’s rally) experiment in major cities. The event will also be used to showcase the “united face” of the party, with central leadership including party veteran L.K. Advani sharing the dias with party’s prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi at several places. As per the survey, BJP is predicted to be winning more than 250 parliamentary seats, riding on the “NaMo factor and anti-Congress wave,” and a “stable government” at the Centre. The survey also claims that people in the country sees BJP as the “only alternative” to the ruling Congress. The party claimed its recent “Karyakarta Mahakumbh” in Bhopal was a “great success” and the party would repeat it in other parts of the country as well. Bolstered by the survey result, BJP leadership is going to focus more on Northeast and South where the predictions are that the saffron party will open its account in Kerala by winning one parliamentary seat, in Andhra Pradesh four seats, Tamil Nadu three seats and on its own can win 14 seats in Karnataka. The survey has predicted BJP winning two seats in Arunachal Pradesh, one seat in Meghalaya and one seat in Nagaland. Central leadership will be asked to focus more in South and Northeast by addressing public rallies, gathering and holding other outreach programmes. As per the survey, in the Hindi heartland, the party will be gaining significantly by winning more than 30 seats in Uttar Pradesh, 20 seats in Bihar, 19 seats in Rajasthan and 23 seats in Madhya Pradesh. In Maharashtra, BJP is predicted to win 30 seats with its ally Shiv Sena, in Punjab 10 seats with SAD, in West Bengal three seats. In Jammu and Kashmir, the saffron party is predicted to win two seats while in nine in Jharkhand and 10 in Chattisgarh.
