The newly appointed president of BJP’s State unit B.Y. Vijayendra said his aim is to not only win all the 28 seats in Karnataka during the coming Lok Sabha elections, but also ensure the return of the BJP to power in the State after the next Assembly elections.
Mr. Vijayendra, who began a two-day visit to Mandya and Mysuru districts on Sunday, told reporters that the twin goals before the party were to not only strengthen the hands of Prime Minister Narendra Modi by winning all the 28 Lok Sabha seats in the State but also bring the party back to power in Karnataka by securing a clear majority in the next Assembly elections.
He regretted that the party was unable to win as many seats as they expected during the last Assembly elections. But, all efforts will be made to convert Karnataka into BJP’s fortress in South India.
