Raipur: Claiming that both Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) had accepted the disinvestment policy, BJP president M Venkaiah Naidu on October 5 said the Union Cabinet would discuss as to how and when a unit would be divested.

On some Union ministers going public about their views on disinvestment, the BJP chief told reporters that he had advised the concerned ministers to arrive at a final decision on the issue through discussions rather than issuing statements.

Speaking about the next Lok Sabha polls, Naidu said his party would fight the elections under the leadership of Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee and try to get 300 seats on its own.

"We will fight the next elections also under the leadership of Vajpayee and get a positive mandate," he told reporters.

The BJP planned to get 300 seats and would try to get a two-third majority along with its allies in the NDA, he said.

Stating that winning 300 seats though was not an impossible task but a difficult one, the BJP leader said the party would seek votes by asking people to compare BJP's achievement during five years in power with the 40 year rule of Congress.

On Jammu and Kashmir elections, he said people of the Valley had proved Pakistan's allegation to be false by widely participating in the poll process.
