Why BJP is gearing up for snap polls

July 09, 2013 14:25

BJP general secretary Ananth Kumar sprang a surprise at the BJP parliamentary board on Monday that Karnataka governor Hansraj Bharadwaj had shared a top secret news about possible snap polls to be held in November.

Hansraj apparently got this news from 10 Janpath and based on this, the BJP Parliamentary Board has swung into action to deliberate on the snap polls. Ananth Kumar's apparent hotline to 10 Janpath brought a smile to Narendra Modi's face.

Leader of the Opposition Sushma Swaraj also concurred with Ananth Kumar that the Congress was gearing up for snap polls, which is why the monsoon session of Parliament is not being convened and the ordinance route was adopted to pass the Food Security Bill.
