Adopting a cautious path, newly appointed BJP State president B.Y. Vijayendra on Wednesday asked the party cadre not to take their political opponents lightly in the forthcoming Lok Sabha elections though he claimed that there was a wave in favour of Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the entire country, including Karnataka.
Addressing the first meeting of the newly constituted State office-bearers of the BJP in Bengaluru, Mr. Vijayendra urged the party cadre to understand that every election would be different and throw up different kind of challenges. “In a bid to overcome those challenges, we should not take our opponents lightly,” he said.
At the same time, he said there was a dire need to send a strong message that Karnataka is the strong base for BJP in southern India by winning all the 28 Lok Sabha seats in the State.
