BJP heavyweights to campaign

Staff Reporter

NEW DELHI: Pursuing an aggressive campaign policy for the upcoming Municipal Corporation of Delhi elections, the Bharatiya Janata Party would be organising over 200 meetings in the coming three days in which all its major leaders would participate. The party would also be using its "star campaigners'' Shatrughan Sinha and Navjot Singh Sidhu for road shows to generate mass publicity.

Honest administration

Along with the local leaders, the senior BJP leaders headed by party president Rajnath Singh will appeal to the voters to elect the BJP candidates as the party was committed to giving a transparent and honest administration in the Corporation.

Senior BJP leader in charge of Delhi affairs Vijay Kumar Malhotra said on Saturday that prominent leaders had been fielded to attract people to the public meetings. Among those who would address the gatherings are Uttarakhand Chief Minister B.C. Khanduri, former Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Shanta Kumar, party general secretary Arun Jaitley, Sushma Swaraj, Sahib Singh Verma, Vijay Goel, Shahnawaz Hussain, Ballabh Bhai Kathuria, Bacchi Singh Rawat, Arif Beg, Krishna Das, Hukum Dev Narain Singh Yadav, Kirti Azad, Anita Arya, Lal Behari Tiwari, Jagdish Mukhi, Pawan Sharma. Also campaigning for the BJP will be the Akali Dal (Badal) leader Sukhbir Singh Badal.

Stating that people were fed up with Congress rule and want a change, Prof. Malhotra said the way the public meetings of BJP were being attended by a large number of people showed that the party would secure a two-thirds majority in the MCD elections.
