He would be interacting with the core committee of BJP on Friday morning and the same evening he would be attending the function organized to celebrate 60th birthday of BJP North Goa Member of Parliament Shripad Naik.

He stated that in his political career of 35 years, he has never seen people discussing politics to such an extent. “People have hopes that Modi will do something good for the country,” he added.
To begin with, Naidu said ‘BJP will throw Congress out in four out of five States where the elections are scheduled in November.’
Five states ~ Delhi, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Mizoram would be going for elections ahead of LS polls in November-December. “In Mizoram, the party does not have strong hold and hence I cannot predict it,” Naidu said.

BJP will have rallies across 100 places in the country and Lok sabha convention in all the 543 constituencies in the run up to the polls.
