New Delhi, Dec 25: Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee today asked partymen to gear up for polls to ensure a second term for the BJP-led coalition at the Centre and said BJP's adversaries would not be able to cobble up a coalition despite making attempts. Addressing thousands of party workers gathered at his residence to greet him on his 79th birthday, a beaming Vajpayee impressed upon the party rank and file that there was no room for complacency after its spectacular victory in the three states as "time is important".
"Vijay hai, per vishram nahi. Samay ka mahatva hai," (one cannot rest after the victory in the recent assembly elections as time is important), he said.
He, however, did not mention whether the Lok Sabha elections would be held as scheduled or preponed.
In an obvious reference to Congress, he said that though others were also trying to firm up an alliance, but they will not succeed. Bureau Report
