BJP's 'issue-centric' campaign will succeed: Jaitley

Amritsar: A day ahead of polling in Amritsar Lok Sabha seat, senior BJP leader Arun Jaitley today expressed confidence that his issue-centric campaign will succeed against the “rude and discourteous” campaign of his Congress rival

On the video released by Congress which purportedly shows Modi in pictures with one Afroz Fatta arrested in connection with a Rs,1000 crore hawala racket, Jaitley said manufacturing a campaign based on non issues is among the pitfalls of contesting elections without an issue.

“A new bright face in the media, (Congress spokesman Randeep) Surjewala, discovered a motley crowd posing for a photograph with Modi and spotted one rogue in it. His smugness showed that he believed that the Congress had won the election on this ground,” Jaitley wrote.

The BJP leader thanked his team of supporters for the seven week long campaign in Amritsar which ended yesterday and said modern techniques of campaign proved to be a great asset including his morning blog through which he connected to lakhs of people in Amritsar.
