The Opposition’s war cry notwithstanding, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is unwavered in doing what suits it best to garner more votes in Maharashtra and across India, as the Lok Sabha polls draw closer. A senior party executive, who wished to be anonymous, has painted a sketchy idea, with an emphasis on the ‘Modi hai to Mumkin Hai’ factor, ahead of the election year. The leader is one of the seniors who participates in decision-making in the BJP. He may not be authorised to decide everything in its finality, but he knows how things work in the BJP, and what could be the party’s action plan.  Here are his thoughts on various topics.

Opposition bloc in the making: The anti-BJP parties had tried it in the past, but without any success. However, we won’t ignore their effort this time around as well and keep them under close watch to ensure that they don’t dent us. The response to a call to boycott of the inaugural ceremony of the new Parliament building and the Aam Aadmi Party’s plea for defeating a Delhi-related ordinance shows the fractured opposition. The fractures will multiply and become irreparable as the elections happen, be it Lok Sabha or the states that will go to polls before the general elections. The state Assembly elections taking place after the Lok Sabha, for example Maharashtra, will be no different as far as the results are concerned.
