BJP faults campaign in Delhi

By Our Special Correspondent

NEW DELHI DEC. 5. Bharatiya Janata Party leaders think that their election campaign in Delhi suffered from a serious flaw — the State leadership was busy pleading with the Centre to do things, instead of focussing on the flaws of the Sheila Dikshit Government and creating the mood in the people that the Government must go.

"We were focussing on getting jhuggi-jhompri clusters regularised, allowing Delhi Development Authority flat owners to extend their residences, pleading with the Centre not to implement the Conditional Access System till elections were over, and so on. Not a word about the Sheila Dikshit Government," said a senior party leader today. His view was that with a different campaign the Delhi electoral results could have been better for the BJP. In Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan, the BJP conducted an aggressive campaign against the ruling Congress Governments.
