New Delhi, July 12: Delhi BJP president Madan Lal Khurana, who has been opposing implementation of Conditional Access System (CAS) in Delhi in the present form, is expected to meet Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee today to discuss the controversial issue. Khurana has sought time with Vajpayee to convey his views on the issue, party sources said.
The city BJP leader, who is wary of a backlash in the coming assembly elections because of the CAS, is expected to point out that any additional financial burden on consumers would distance voters from the party, they said.
Khurana has been seeking postponement of CAS implementation till "misgivings" regarding it were cleared and the consumers were convinced that it was beneficial for them.
"In principle, I am not against CAS. But people have expressed apprehensions over it and the government must clear the misunderstandings and confusions before implementing it," he has said.
He has already held meetings with Information and Broadcasting Minister Ravi Shanker Prasad and BJP chief M Venkaiah Naidu to convey his opposition. Bureau Report
