We will shatter BJP: Congress

Dismissing a semblance of threat from the newly-announced Team Modi in 2014, the Congress has said the BJP would be "shattered" in the general elections. Information and Broadcasting Minister Mr. Manish Tewari said that, as far as BJP is concerned from 2004 to 2013 they have announced a lot of teams like cricket, hockey, football and political teams. They have always been vanquished. And this time too, it will be no different.

The BJP announced a fleet of 20 star-studded committees to manage different aspects of the party's election campaign under Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi, recently elevated as election campaign chief. A 15-member central election committee will have as its members, apart from Mr. Modi, leaders like Mr. LK Advani and former Prime Minister Mr. Atal Bihari Vajpayee, party president Mr. Rajnath Singh, former party presidents Mr. Venkaiah Naidu and Mr. Nitin Gadkari, key leaders Mr. Sushma Swaraj and Mr. Arun Jaitley and the BJP's chief ministers.

Parties gear up for poll campaigns

Rs. 2,000 crore. That’s what the Congress, the BJP and other national and regional political parties will spend on advertising in the run-up to assembly elections later this year and ahead of the general elections scheduled for 2014.

The Congress and the BJP have reportedly lined up budgets of about Rs.500 crore each, while regional parties such as DMK, AIADMK, SP, BJP, JD(U), TDP and others are expected to spend another Rs.1,000 crore.

Leading agencies such as Rediffusion Y&R, JWT, Crayon, Percept/H, Grey Group, Dentsu India and Madison World have pitched for the Congress and BJP contracts and have already made their first round of presentations. The parties are expected to award contracts to the selected agencies by September.
