Narendra Modi seeking to better Keshubhai's record in Gujarat in LS polls

“Micro-level surveys have been conducted and all the basic preparations except naming of candidates have been completed by the state BJP for the Lok Sabha polls under the guidance of Gujarat Chief Minister,” BJP spokesperson Harsad Patel said.



Noting that Modi “has taken personal interest” to ensure that nothing is lacking in preparations, Patel said, “Our target is to win 26 out of 26 seats as this is the home state of Modi.

“In July-August, we conducted Assembly constituency-wise analysis, in which booths which are strong or not strong were identified keeping in mind their significance for parliamentary constituencies,” Patel said.

“We also undertook a drive to enroll a maximum number of people in our organisation. We asked every cell of state BJP to recruit at least one lakh people each,” he said.  

“In September, we conducted a similar exercise for Lok Sabha seats. Now we have the data for the entire state as to where we are strong and where we are weak, down to the booth level.
