GURUGRAM: Downplaying the alliance between Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) and Loktantra Suraksha Party (LSP) — an outfit floated by rebel BJP MP from Kurukshetra Raj Kumar Saini— the BJP kickstarted its campaign for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections in south Haryana, on Sunday.Leaders of the party in the state are reaching out to booth-level workers and urging them to work without bothering about candidates to help secure Narendra Modi another term as the prime minister.Buoyed by its victory in Jind assembly bypoll, BJP is eyeing to win all 10 Lok Sabha seats in the state. In 2014, BJP had won seven out of 10 seats. Anil Jain, national general secretary of BJP and the party in-charge of Haryana and Chhattisgarh, said the alliance of opposition parties would have no impact. “People understand what has forced BSP and LSP to come together,” said Jain, adding that in Jind bypoll , BSP had tied up with INLD but they couldn’t win the seat. “Now, BSP is joining hands with another party and it is unlikely to win any seat.”BJP leader GL Sharma said the party has divided 545 parliamentary seats across the country into 141 clusters, and 10 seats in Haryana have been divided into three clusters. “Gurugram, Faridabad and Bhiwani-Mahendargarh parliamentary constituencies have been clubbed into one cluster. On Sunday, the BJP held first booth-level meeting of workers from three parliamentary constituencies,” said Sharma.BJP leaders claimed voters’ perception has changed in past few months after the Modi government’s plan to give Rs 6,000 per annum to farmers, reservation to economically weaker section and increasing the income relief for people earning up to Rs 5 lakh. Along with this, they are banking on strength of party workers to overcome the electoral challenge.“In 2014, we had secured votes of 17 crore people and crossed 272 seats on our own. After 2014, party had started special membership drive. Today, it has around 11 crore members, highest in the world.
