Rajnath Singh Replaces Narendra Modi as BJP Campaign Committee Chief

BJP president Rajnath Singh on Sunday replaced Narendra Modi as the chief of the campaign committee for the 2014 Lok Sabha polls following elevation of the Gujarat chief minister as prime ministerial candidate.

The decision was taken by the party's parliamentary board which met in the capital on Sunday.

Mr Modi relinquished the position and proposed Rajnath Singh's name.

Bharatiya Janata Party general secretary Ananth Kumar later told reporters that Rajnath Singh's name was accepted unanimously by all the parliamentary board members.

Party sources said that the decision was expected as Mr Modi could not have run his own campaign.

They said that the sub-committees under the campaign committee were headed by senior leaders and it was expected that Rajnath Singh will be appointed to head the panel.

Mr Modi was declared prime ministerial candidate after protracted discussions in the party on September 13. BJP patriarch LK Advani had not attended the parliamentary board meeting that decided his elevation.

The Gujarat chief minister was declared chief of party's campaign committee for 2014 Lok Sabha polls in June this year.

  1. Time to Stand-Up / get Counted

    For the voters of Delhi , Dec 04, 2013 will be the time to stand up and get counted

    How they opt to get counted will decide their future for the next 5 years

    What are their options ?

     Vote for Congress

    - And continue to suffer for the next 5 years , as they have been suffering for the past 15 years

    - Of course , they will have the satisfaction of having themselves elected their tormentors democratically – hence suffer in silence


     Vote for BJP

    - Lesser of the two Evils !

    - Voters may even look forward to some small improvements in their surroundings if , BJP also wins 2014 National elections with an absolute majority . Rub-off effect from a friendly Center !


     Vote for Aam Admi Party ( AAP )

    - In each constituency , get AAP candidate to distribute to all the voters , signed copies of his / her LOCAL MANIFESTO and DECLARATION filed with Returning Officer

    - In each Election Sabha , ask Arvind Kejriwal to re-commit his party’s promise to pass Jan Lok Pal Bill ( for Delhi ) within 15 days of assuming power. Get it in writing !

    - If he does , then vote for and elect , AT LEAST 40 AAP CANDIDATES on Dec 04 .



    - Remember , if AAP cannot form a government entirely on its own strength , they cannot bring about any reforms !


    - It has to be , either an Absolute Majority or a minority with nothing more than a nuisance value !

    - For the next 5 years , for Delhi-ites , this is their last chance to get a corruption-free government



    Delhi-ites ,


    - This is your ONLY HOPE ( light at the end of the dark tunnel ! )

    - To free India from corruption , you have only ONE option !
