New Delhi: With price rise emerging as a major issue, BJP has decided to focus its campaign around it and is aiming to embarrass ruling Congress-led UPA for the betrayal of aam aadmi, which was the ruling coalition's main plank in the 2004 election.
A decision was taken in this regard at the BJP's core committee meeting here today in which RSS members were also present.
The meeting was to decide the campaign agenda. The BJP decided to focus on the issue of escalating prices of essential commodities and to focus the campaign on the issue.
"The core committee meet was basically aimed at discussing the effect of delimitation on various Lok Sabha constituencies as per the report submitted by different groups formed by the Central Election Management Committee. A major decision arrived upon was to focus on price rise as the campaign agenda from now on," a party source told PTI.
The deliberations of the core committee and the report submitted by groups send to different parts of the country to study delimitation effects would be discussed in detail on April 18 in a meeting of the party office bearers.
"Betrayal of common man, on whose name the UPA came to power, and the tendency of not owning the responsibility of the situation would be the campaign focus of BJP," it added.
With this decision there is also a probability that the saffron party will be putting into the back burner issues like Ramsetu and Indo-US nuclear deal. Although internal security may still remain one of the issues in the campaigns.
