Even if it (alliance) is formed, it will not last.&#8221;\u00a0Undeterred by the BSP and the SP eyeing the Dalit and OBC votes, besides the Muslim electorates, Pandey said his party was doing its own ground work.<span style=\"font-size: 8.0pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; color: #383636;\"><br style=\"font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; orphans: 2; widows: 2; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; word-spacing: 0px;\" \/> <span style=\"background: white;\"><span style=\"font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; orphans: 2; widows: 2; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; float: none; word-spacing: 0px;\">&#8220;We are taking along the castes which they (SP, BSP) bank upon. We have recently held successful OBC conferences (between Sept 4-24) in which backward caste representatives from all over the state actively participated,&#8221; he said.<\/span>The conference saw overwhelming response from the backward classes as they see Prime Minister Narendra Modi as their leader, the UP BJP chief said.<\/span>&#8220;Besides, we are soon going to organise Dalit sammelan (conference) and &#8216;prabuddh&#8217; (intellectuals&#8217;) meet. These sections have only been cheated by previous SP and BSP regimes in the state. Only the BJP is the party which is really working with &#8216;sabka saath sabka vikas&#8217; motive. This is the reason for our success,&#8221; he said.<\/span>He said that his party was working at several levels to increase its victory margin.&#8221;We are highlighting our work at the Centre and state and above all Modiji&#8217;s personality, which will be presented before the people.&#8221;\u00a0&#8220;At the organisation level, we are emphasising on ensuring our presence from booth to division to assembly and Lok Sabha segments. We are doing a micro-planning for that,&#8221; he said.Noting that the party has a lot to tell the people about the good work and projects its governments at the Centre and state have initiated, Pandey said, &#8220;We will reach out to people and inform them about these works and are confident of getting their positive response in terms of votes. No government has done such a good work till now.&#8221;\u00a0<br style=\"font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; orphans: 2; widows: 2; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; word-spacing: 0px;\" \/> <span style=\"background: white;\">&#8220;The party will bank on the &#8220;towering personality&#8221; of Modi ji, who is loved by all sections of the society due to this &#8216;working style and aura&#8217;. Our leader is accepted by all. No other leader can stand in front of him. Opposition has not one (leader), who can challenge him,&#8221; he asserted.<\/span>.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0The BJP Thursday said it does not see any grand alliance taking shape against it as there are many &#8220;gaps and contradictions&#8221; among opposition parties, even as it exuded confidence of increasing its tally in Uttar Pradesh in the next Lok Sabha polls.&#8220;The BJP&#8217;s performance will be better in 2019 compared to 2014, when the party and its allies bagged a lion&#8217;s share of 73 seats (of total 80 seats),&#8221; state BJP President Mahendra Nath Pandey told PTI in an interview here.Asked about the opposition parties&#8217; attempt to form a&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":18160,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[26,4],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dinnews.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18158"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dinnews.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dinnews.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dinnews.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dinnews.in\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=18158"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/dinnews.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18158\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":18161,"href":"https:\/\/dinnews.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18158\/revisions\/18161"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dinnews.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/18160"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dinnews.in\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=18158"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dinnews.in\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=18158"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dinnews.in\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=18158"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
