Delhi Assembly Polls: BJP plans multiple surveys, aims to retain 55 per cent vote share

The BJP is planning to conduct multiple surveys for better selection of political issues and candidates for the Delhi Assembly polls due early next year, in the wake of its massive victory in the Lok Sabha election, senior leaders of the saffron party said on Sunday.
The ruling party was working on various fronts to ensure that it retained the whopping 55 per cent vote share it got in the national capital in the recent parliamentary election for a "comfortable" victory in the Assembly polls next year, a senior Delhi BJP leader said.
At a recent meeting of Delhi BJP leaders, the party's general secretary (organisation) Siddharthan said efforts should be made to retain the 55 per cent vote share in Delhi, he added. Regular meetings of the party are being held in view of the speculation that the Delhi Assembly polls may be pre-poned to coincide with the state elections in Maharashtra, Haryana and Jharkhand in October-November.
"In view of the upcoming Assembly polls, three-phased surveys are planned for shortlisting constituency-specific issues, assessment of the AAP government (in Delhi) and the performance of its MLAs as well as to analyse the reach and popularity of our leaders for selecting suitable candidates," another top Delhi BJP leader said.
