On the positive side, partymen were asked to effectively project the "achievements" of the National Democratic Alliance Government at the Centre. Addressing party spokespersons from all the States and other party functionaries dealing with the press here today, the BJP president, Venkaiah Naidu, said with better communication the party could create a better perception of its work. He asked them to "assert ideologically, think progressively and campaign aggressively". The biggest challenge before the BJP, he said, was to counter the "disinformation campaign" by its political rivals, especially the Congress and the Left parties. Attacking the "vote-bank politics" of the Congress, Mr. Naidu said the BJP should effectively assert that it was the Vajpayee Government which had amended the Constitution after the Supreme Court ruling on reservations to restore reservations in promotions for the Scheduled Castes. At the day-long workshop — to evolve a media strategy in the run-up to the Assembly elections this year and the 2004 Assembly elections — plans were also chalked out to computerise media cells in all the State headquarters to help disseminate information quickly and effectively. Mr. Naidu reiterated that the party's goal was to get 300 Lok Sabha seats on its own in the 2004 general elections. A meeting of the BJP's north-east management committee was also held today where it was once again confirmed that the primary objective of the party would be to put together anti-Congress and anti-Left alliances. In Nagaland, particularly, the BJP hopes to cash in on the Naga peace talks to oust the Jamir Government. The Union Ministers, MPs, MLAs and senior party functionaries would be asked to tour the region to try and establish a credible base.
