Bengaluru: Apprehensive that the North may not be so kind as it was in the 2014 polls handing the BJP-led NDA a huge majority in the Lok Sabha, party president Amit Shah said the next government in Delhi after 4 years would be based on the South India results.
The BJP has a big presence in Karnataka where it won 17 of the 28 Lok Sabha seats in 2014 but is weak in Kerala, where it has failed to open its account. Tamil Nadu, a state dominated by the DMK and AIADMK, has always kept BJP at a distance.
Speaking at the ‘Mahasampark Abhiyan’ of the party in Bengaluru, Mr Shah set a target of establishing party offices in all districts by December 2016 and training 15 lakh workers as ideologues. “Before the 2014 polls, I, as party general secretary in charge of UP, used to say that the next government will be formed based on the UP results. Now I am telling you, south India will play the pivotal role in forming the next government," he said.
BJP national general secretary Muralidhar Rao who briefed reporters about the day-long meeting attended by legislators and MPs from southern states, said they discussed preparations for the Assembly elections due next year in Tamil Nadu and Kerala.
