New Delhi: In the backdrop of a leading newsweekly's survey giving National Democratic Alliance (NDA) an emphatic win in snap Lok Sabha polls, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on February 3 ruled out seeking people's mandate right away and said Vajpayee government would complete its term.

"I emphatically deny that there is any proposal or thinking on our part to go for a mid-term poll. We want to fulfil the promise given to the people that we will give good administration to make India and NDA move forward," party president M Venkaiah Naidu told reporters.

He said there was no proposal before the party to have a mid-term poll and "we are only preparing our ground for expanding the party base".

The BJP chief said the party's immediate focus was the coming Assembly elections in nine states this year and a target of 300 seats on its own in the Lok Sabha elections in 2004.

Naidu said a reallocation of work for party office-bearers will take place after Deputy Prime Minister L K Advani returns from his foreign visit. He refuted any office-bearer being dropped.

He said Law Minister Arun Jaitley and party general secretary Pramod Mahajan would be members of the Election Campaign Committee for Himachal Pradesh Assembly polls on February 26.

Naidu, who was in Raipur on February 2 to address a farmers' rally, said the farmers were "totally disillusioned" with the Congress government in Chattisgarh and there was a "mood in favour of BJP".

He said the BJP, having leaders like Dilip Singh Judev, Raman Singh and Ramesh Bais, "is bound" to emerge successful in the coming Assembly elections in the state.
