Using the security plank, BJP is all set to launch an aggressive campaign from tomorrow on the issue of serial bomb blasts at Narendra Modi's rally in Patna, projecting "deliberate" security lapses and government's "soft" apprach towards terror.
The party will brief the media in various state capitals tomorrow to apprise the public of "deliberate" security lapses and the government's soft approach on terror.
BJP leaders will hold press conferences across the country to highlight the "attack on its Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi and other senior leaders" at the Patna rally by allegedly compromising on security.
BJP wants to make national security a political issue by raking it up at a pan-India level and tell the public that the government is "not serious" on the issue and is instead doing "vote-bank politics".
Among the places where the campaign will be launched are Hyderabad, Patna, Raipur, Chandigarh, Chamba, Bangalore, Bhopal, Mumbai, Jaipur, Thiruvananthapuram, Lucknow, Kolkata, Bhubaneshwar, Ahmedabad and Guwahati.
