The BJP is looking forward to adopting the same strategy it used during the Gujarat elections for the ensuing Karnataka Assembly elections, of fielding leaders from across the states in the campaign.
BJP sources informed that the party has given charge of the Karnataka election campaign to 50-60 leaders from different states, including the Union and state Ministers, MPs and MLAs.
Further, according to the sources, a meeting took place between BJP General Secretary (Organisation), BL Santosh, and state election in-charge and Union minister, Dharmendra Pradhan. In the meeting, the party leaders were told to ensure the party’s victory in the state.
Some of the prominent names at the meeting were Union Minister of State Pankaj Chaudhary, MP Nishikant Dubey, Ramesh Bidhuri, Sanjay Bhatia, Bihar MLA Sanjeev Chaurasia, UP MLA Satish Dwivedi, and Andhra Pradesh leader P Sudhakar Reddy, who has the experience of managing many elections, the source said.
