BJP leaders meet to decide future polls strategy

New Delhi: With the victory in the Delhi civic polls coming as a shot in the arm for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), the party's top leadership met here Wednesday morning to discuss it's strategy for future polls.

According to party sources, key BJP leaders, including the top slot, met at party president Nitin Gadkari's residence here in the morning.

The meeting was attended by LK Advani, Sushma Swaraj, Arun Jaitley and other key and senior leaders.

"The meeting was to decide the future path, how to go about the coming polls, and how to go about the states where we are not in power... other similar issues were taken up," a source told a news agency.

Party president Nitin Gadkari Tuesday termed the BJP's victory in Delhi civic polls as a prelude to coming elections. He also said it reflected anti-Congress sentiment of the people.

The BJP won in 138 of the 272 wards in the three newly created municipal corporations of Delhi while the Congress secured victory in 77 wards.

The BJP, however, lost 26 seats as compared to 2007, when it won 164 seats. The Congress, however, improved its last time tally from 64 to 77 seats.

congrats to BJP for its emphatic win over congress. But it should not forget UP debacle. It`s always better to play at your strength rather opposition weakness. BJP has faltered on many occassions in past. Now can we expect a real party with a difference.So

Considering the anti-congress mood of Indian masses, the BJP victory is not that impressive. The party must do some soul searching and set its house in order to achieve a decisive victory in the coming elections. The country needs BJP now and BJP must rise to the occasion.

BJP should make Sushma Swaraj as a face and as a prime minister....all others have one or the other issue or case.

BJP should not read too much out of these municipal elections-afterall they have lost from the last elections.BJP has to improve its image on the corruption front as this was the main factor that they were preffered over congress.The present image of the BJP is not too good and needs a lot to improve.
