'This election will be challenging, fought on courage': Sushma Swaraj

Expressing confidence about her party achieving a splendid victory in the 2014 general elections, senior party leader Sushma Swaraj on Wednesday said the upcoming polls will be fought on courage, and urged the people to vote fearlessly to defeat the Congress.

Addressing the BJP's 'Karyakarta Mahakumbh' rally here, Swaraj invoked the Mahabharat to put the Congress-BJP electoral battle in context.

"Yeh chunao himmat ki hogi (this election will be fought on courage). This is Mahabharat of Kaliyug and it is different of Mahabharat of Dwapar Yug, have to ensure that each discontented voter goes to the poll booth," she said.

Swaraj, who is the Member of Parliament from Vidisha in Madhya Pradesh, also lauded Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan and his good governance.

"Our party workers make us win and form the government," she said.

Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, who is seeking a third term in state elections due by November, is leaving no stone unturned in garnering public support and the presence of the BJP's top brass in this rally is an icing on the cake for him.

The Karyakarta Mahakumbh is being organized to commemorate the birth anniversary of Pandit Deen Dayal Upadhyaya, a founding member of the Bharatiya Jana Sangh, the forerunner of the BJP.
