Chennai, Jan 03: Amidst speculation on the
preponement of Lok Sabha polls, BJP President M Venkaiah Naidu
today said a formal decision on advancing the elections would
be taken only at the party's two-day national executive
meeting beginning on January 11.
Claiming that the party had come to the 'feel great'
factor stage from 'feel good' factor, Naidu told reporters at
the Meenambakam Airport here that the party would campaign on
the performance of the Vajpayee ministry during the polls.
Naidu denied reports that the Centre had already decided
to go in for a vote-on-account and to dissolve the Lok Sabha
to facilitate an early poll. The issue was not discussed at
the party or government level so far, he said.
A formal decision on advancing the Lok Sabha polls would
be taken only at the BJP's national executive in Hyderabad,
he said.
BJP party has not launched any formal discussion with
AIADMK for the Lok Sabha polls, he said adding the issue of
political alignments would also be discussed at the national
executive.
