BENGALURU: The modalities for launching the Rath Yatra from four directions by the end of February and other issues were discussed in Friday’s meeting, Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai said.
The CM, who was speaking to reporters in Bengaluru, said the meeting discussed the programmes to be held this month and the next month, party organisation along with the session, completion of Jan Sankalp Yatra before February and preparation of the district and state level election manifesto and the visit of national leaders to the state.
“BJP national president J P Nadda is coming to launch the booth-level Vijay Sankalp Yatra. He will be launching the yatra in Tumakuru. It was decided in the meeting to take the programmes of state and Union governments to every house, and organise district-level convention of various morchas”, he said.
“The high command will decide on the list of candidates. The poll preparations and Jan Sampark programmes were discussed in the meeting. Now, only a preliminary round discussion was held and the next course of action will be decided with former CM B S Yediyurappa”, Bommai said.
Reacting to KPCC president DK Shivakumar’s statement on BJP legislators joining the Congress party in Haveri, Bommai asked Shivakumar to focus on how many leaders will remain in his party. “The Congress leader is making such statements out of frustration”, Bommai added. (ANI)
