Big bash on July 28 to mark one year of Bommai govt

The BJP has decided to organise a big bash to mark one year of Basavaraj Bommai as Chief Minister on July 28. The party will hold a mega rally at Doddaballapura on the day.

Meanwhile, the brainstorming session of the BJP to prepare for the next Assembly election reiterated the “Mission 150” target for its senior party leaders on Friday.

Targets set

In a roadmap to achieve the target, the BJP has assigned responsibility to Ministers and senior leaders to ensure victory in one additional seat in the district assigned to them, while retaining all seats represented by the party presently. “We are 121 MLAs now and if we win one additional seat in every district, we will reach our target of 150,” said N. Ravikumar, general secretary, BJP Karnataka. 

The day-long session presided over by B.L. Santosh, national general secretary (organisation), and attended by all senior leaders, including B.S. Yediyurappa, Arun Singh, and Mr. Bommai, also saw a detailed review of the recent “below expected levels” performance in the Council and urban local body elections, sources said.
