• Congress is hoping to return to power in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, and Chhattisgarh on the basis of the "Anti-Incumbency" factor. However Gujarat has shown that the "anti-incumbency" factor can be overcome.
• During the time available before the Assembly polls, I would like those in Government and in the party organization, as well as the MLAs, in these States to attend to four cardinal tasks:
• Speed up and further improve the functioning of the Government, especially in areas of development and people's welfare.
• Go among the people and explain to them the Government achievements. It is necessary to improve the coordination between the Government and party organization with the Chief Minister clearly representing the unity of command.
• Go among the people also to find out what they have to say about the performance of BJP MLAs Ministers and Government in general, and take corrective measures wherever necessary. Often, people's displeasure over a local MLA or MP hurts the party, as we saw at the time of the 2004 parliamentary election.
• Lastly, expeditious steps should be taken to address internal dissensions, factionalism. etc., for which there can be simply no place in the BJP.
