Gearing up for the coming Lok Sabha polls, the BJP high command has asked its state unit in Jammu and Kashmir to get on board all the like-minded parties in the state to avoid division of votes.
According to the reports, the state unit has been told to convince other political parties not to field their candidates on the Jammu-Poonch and Udhampur-Doda Lok Sabha seats, to ensure the defeat of the rival Congress.
During a meeting of the core group of the party in Chandigarh, a detailed discussion was held on each and every constituency of the northern region, the sources said.
Meanwhile according to reports, Jammu visit of BJP’s Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi has almost been finalised and he is likely to visit the state during the first week of December to formally kick-start the campaign for the forthcoming Lok Sabha elections.
“Earlier, the state unit of the BJP had given a proposal to the high command to organise a rally of Narendra Modi at Jammu on October 26, on theoccasion of the Accession Day. However, the proposal was rejected by the party high command,” sources are quoted to have said.
