Modi’s survey says BJP will do well again

Raipur, January 23

BJP’s prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi’s survey report has given thumbs up to the party unit in Chhattisgarh much before general elections. The report says the party has capability to win all 11 Lok Sabha seats if it will make slight attempt in consolidating its position in rural pockets. The report also sees increase in party’s vote share by fair proportion as compared to 2009 Lok Sabha polls and recently held assembly polls. The report, however, warns the party not to be overconfident as it might face tough challenge in three seats.

According to information, Modi has constituted a special team to conduct survey across the country ahead of LS polls. In this series, this team tested public pulse on different parameters in Chhattisgarh after announcement of 2013 assembly poll results. During survey, the team discovered that the party’s decision to project Modi as its PM candidate had clicked to large extent as not only urbanites, but villagers too wanted to know more about his vision and mission after learning that he hailed from a humble “chaiwala” family and elevated in BJP as the most deserving person to take the baton of the country.

The survey team also reached to conclusion that the people had come out of assembly poll fever and were likely to cast their vote with fresh mindset comparing the parties, candidates and persons in PM race. The team found that Modi’s rallies during assembly polls in State also set tone for the party for LS battle as people curiously paid attention to his speeches and held discussions over them in offices, streets, pan kiosks, etc.  

In the report, the team has expressed its concern over party’s weakening performance in Bilaspur, Korba and Kanker. The report suggests the State unit to find new and competitive faces for these three seats to retain them. In 2009, the BJP had won ten out of 11 seats except Korba which was won by Charandas Mahant. Presently, Bilaspur seat is vacant after demise of Dilip Singh Judeo while Kanker belongs to Sohan Potai.

The team has also advised the State unit to search new faces for Sarguja and Bastar where the party’s vote share dipped in assembly polls. Presently, Sarguja seat is vacant as party MP Murari Lal Singh passed away last month while Bastar seat is acquired by Dinesh Kashyap. It is learnt that central leadership has forwarded Modi’s survey report to State unit and has asked it alter the party cadres from top to bottom and engage them to work at grassroot level to get better results in polls.
