BJP dubs organisational changes in BJP as 'family matter'

NEW DELHI: BJP on Tuesday dubbed the organisational changes in Congress as a 'family matter' and said it was a clear indication that the ruling party also believed that mid-term elections were imminent.

"It is a family matter. But whatever it may be, it has proved that the Congress believes the elections to be approaching and they are gearing up for it," senior leader Venkaiah Naidu told here.

"Now Congress is revamping its organisation to face elections which would be in 2008 itself," he asked. General elections are due only in 2009.

Asked if his party would have any reservation if Rahul Gandhi, who was made the Congress general secretary on Monday, is described as a Prime Ministerial candidate, Naidu said there was "no need for any such opposition."

"There is no match, no marriage and hence there is no question of a delivery. Where is the question of anyone (from Congress) becoming the Prime Ministerial candidate when UPA is losing grounds in all fronts," he said.

Meanwhile, BJP has announced a three-month mass campaign anticipating "imminent elections."

"We are planning a massive campaign in the coming months and our target is to have booth-level committee across the country by the end of the year," he said.

"Our senior leaders would be holding public meetings in every part of the country in October," he added.
