UDUPI: BJP National General Secretary (Organization) B L Santhosh said on Thursday that the main agenda for Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his third term will be to implement 'one nation, one election'. He said this at a party workers' meeting held as part of the MLC polls for the South West Graduates’ and South West Teachers’ constituency.
Santhosh urged party workers to promote the idea of one nation, one election for better administration.
Further, he asked party workers to meet voters at their doorsteps and campaign during the MLC poll. Regarding the State Education Policy of Karnataka, Santhosh expressed concern that with ultra-left and anti-Hindu members in the policy drafting committee, the government is planning to implement an anti-national policy.
‘‘Because of corruption and arrogance among those in power in the state, the development of the state has taken a backseat. The dreams of Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar, who are leading a cold war for power, will be shattered on June 4 after the declaration of Lok Sabha poll results," he stated.
About former MLA Raghupathi Bhat contesting as a rebel candidate in the upcoming MLC election, he said that Bhat has proved that he was glued to the power.
''Why he needs a party ticket always? Many have toiled hard for the party for three to four decades, but still, they did not expect the ticket. Party workers should work hard for the success of party's official candidate and for that grass root level workers should reach out to every enrolled voters at their doorstep," he said.
Further, B L Santhosh said that the party considers public interest more important than the popularity of leaders.
Opposition Leader in the Legislative Council Kota Shrinivas Poojary, BJP State General Secretary V Sunil Kumar, and MLAs were present.
