BJP gives up resolve to avoid personalised politics

The Bharatiya Janata Party has now decided to project its chief ministerial candidates in all the states going to the polls on November 25, Delhi Chief Minister Sushma Swaraj said in New Delhi today.

Reversing its earlier decision, the party has projected Swaraj as its chief ministerial candidate for Delhi.

Answering questions at a 'face the media' programme at the Press Club of India, Swaraj said the party had reviewed the decision taken by the national executive in August.

Stating that an exception had not been made in her case, she said a meeting of the central office-bearers would take place tomorrow where a formal announcement would be made about Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan also.
