‘BJP will focus on growth, jobs’

May 04, 2015 12:00 am | Updated 06:00 am IST - TIRUPUR/COIMBATORE:

The BJP will not announce any pre-poll sop, but will focus on growth and development at a micro-level if elected to power in the State, party State president Tamilisai Soundararajan told The Hindu in Tirupur on Sunday.

The BJP chief said the party would soon be ready with district -wise analysis of economical growth and job potential in the State. The reports are being prepared with the help of party workers and different stakeholders taking into account the natural resources available in each of the 32 districts and see how they could be used to create jobs and improve economic prosperity, she said.

“Our aim is to create jobs and augment the purchasing power of the people,” she said.

On alliances for 2016 Assembly elections, she said the BJP would reach out to more number of parties, to ensure that a BJP-led alternative front to the AIADMK, the DMK came to power. According to her, the PMK was still part of the NDA.

Welcoming the Congress rally in Chennai against corruption in Tamil Nadu, she, however, questioned the track record of the Congress-led Centre, which was embroiled in major scams such as 2G and Coalgate.

“On growth path”

“The country is surely on the growth path,” Ms. Tamilisai she said in response to a question on former Union Minister Arun Shourie’s statement that the Centre was led by Modi, Amit Shah, Arun Jaitley, who were not leading the country on a growth path. “He [Arun Shourie] has made such a statement, as he did not get what he expected,” she said.
