In a recent survey it was clearly vindicated that BJP is likely to win nearly 190 seats in UP and that will be a significant achievement if they manage to garner so many seats. It will upset the applecart as the regional parties are looking for an opening to get the top position. Once again, Congress is relegated to fourth spot as per the study. This is the right time for BJP to plunge into action. In an indication that the surgical strikes across LoC will be part of the party’s campaign, the Defence Minister will address a few public meetings. After Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Lucknow for Vijayadashami, the BJP is planning road shows and yatras across Uttar Pradesh in the run-up to the Assembly elections. In an indication that the recent surgical strikes across the Line of Control will be part of the party’s campaign, Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar, a Rajya Sabha member from the State, will address a few public meetings. A good beginning in campaigning in UP will take BJP to achieve significant success this time,
