BJP aiming to wrest 50 Assembly seats that it narrowly lost to others

As the battle intensifies on the State’s political turf ahead of the 2023 Assembly elections, the ruling BJP is preparing the ground to wrest from the Opposition about 50 constituencies where it narrowly lost or stood second in the 2018 elections.

The State executive that is meeting here next week is expected to finalise a road map to win these constituencies. Party sources said that the party had identified its strengths and weaknesses in these constituencies, and strategies would be evolved to win them, besides retaining the 120 seats that the party had in the current Assembly.

“The State executive in Bengaluru will more or less launch the election preparation and spadework required since we will have only two more State executives before the general elections,” the sources added.
