In the middle of high-pitched campaign in West Bengal, Prime Minister Narendra modi he has asked his fellow party members to ensure that the BJP does not indulge in insults or abuse and to maintain a positive campaign, according to sources.
The prime minister, who held one-on-one meetings with senior leaders at the BJP headquarters on Thursday night to understand “the real picture on the ground,” has urged leaders to ensure that the party’s campaign narrative is not flawed. sources said.
“The Prime Minister asked us not to allow ourselves to insult or be negative to counter the tirade against the party and its leaders from the ruling TMC. He asked each of us to see to it that the BJP campaign is civilized, ”said a senior party leader who was part of the central election committee meeting on Thursday.
During the marathon meeting that began at 6 pm on Thursday, Modi held individual meetings with each senior leader.
“He wanted us to give him a real picture, our limitations and drawbacks in the campaign so far. He asked to inform you honestly. He asked us to talk about the drawbacks before talking about the advantages and progress we have made so far, “said the leader.
At the meeting of the party’s central electoral committee, the BJP finalized the candidates for almost all of the 38 seats where elections will be held in the first phase of the elections in West Bengal on May 27.
Party sources said that no party deputy is contesting in the first phase, but they did not rule out the possibility that some deputies will be sent. “With every important position, if a deputy is a sure winner in a particular position, why should he not be selected?” asked a party leader.
The BJP is unlikely to allow senior leader Mukul Roy, who left the TMC and joined the BJP in 2017 and currently holds a vice president position in the party, to compete even though he is very keen to do so. Roy is expected to continue in the organizing role, the sources said.
