In order to retain five Lok Sabha seats in the Lok Sabha elections, BJP national president Amit Shah on Sunday asked his party men to keep an eye on the disgruntled leaders in the opposition camp (The Congress and other parties) and try to lure them to the BJP’s fold.The message by the national president, who was here in Dehradun and held four closed-door meetings of various party units, was loud and clear, saying “Do not allow the Opposition to get the better of you.
Adopt a proactive approach to expand the base of the party further and do not shy away from targeting the disgruntled leaders in the Opposition camp. Make them members of the BJP”. During the last Assembly elections in 2017 the BJP got a brute majority on the back of several disgruntled Congress leaders. In all, 11 Congress leaders, who left the party in the lurch and joined the BJP, won elections on the BJP ticket. Not content with the present electoral arithmetic, Shah has asked his party men to expand the party base further in the state.
