BJP's strategy must focus on retaining states‎: 2019 Lok Sabha election

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) held its national executive meet in Odisha, a condition it's eyeing to capture in 2019. Pm Narendra Modi, party president Amit Shah, along with other top party functionaries including 13 chief ministers, received a hot welcome from party workers enthused through the BJP's recent good performances in Odisha municipal polls.

The BJP central government will complete 3 years at work the following month, so the meet would be a stock-taking and brainstorming exercise of the items continues to be achieved politically through the party, what happen to be the achievements the Narendra Modi government, and just what strategy be adopted to win the following Lok Sabha elections 2019.

Modi is considered to possess told participants to prevent complacency and also to work tirelessly for that poor and downtrodden. Only then can the BJP understand Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya's "Antyoday" imagine reaching and benefiting people at the end from the pyramid, he stated.

BJP's technique for 2019 is made on five tangible parameters: Retain, maintain, wrest, expand, and communicate.

Retain existing seats: Retain existing seats: BJP won an impressive 282 seats in 2014, which was the best performance by any political party since 1984. Such was the margin of its victory that it could have formed government on its own without the help from any NDA ally. But to buck anti-incumbency and retain these seats will be crucial.

Wrest other seats: The party has identified 120 winnable seats, seats it had lost by narrow margins in 2014. Accordingly, the party sent MPs and ministers to the respective constituencies to explain to the people the work done by the party. A massive outreach programme, focusing on these seats, is being worked out to lure people to the party in 2019. Good performances in these states can make up for losses, if any, in states like Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Maharashtra and Rajasthan, where the party enjoyed good successes in 2014. More
