Gujarat BJP has chalked out a detailed poll campaign plan for their Prime Ministerial candidate, L K Advani who is fighting Lok Sabha election from the Gandhinagar seat.
"We have chalked out a detailed campaign plan for Advani who is a four time MP from Gandhinagar constituency and will be fighting the elections for the fifth time as delimitation has changed the geography," a BJP leader said.
Responsibilities have been given to senior leaders to look after the constituency as Advani is busy campaining throughout the country for the party, he said.
"We have had meetings with party workers and has chalked out a plan for campaigning in Advani's constituency," Incharge of the constituency and senior BJP leader Surendra Patel said.
"We have opened a central election office of Advani and office at Assembly segment levels will be opened soon. We will soon start campaiging for him in a big way. All the signals are positive," he said.
The state unit of the party has already carried out massive exercise of survey of the delimited constituency of L K Advani to ensure that he wins the seat.

Advani has remained undefeated from the Gandhinagar seat for four times when he contested in 1991, 1998, 1999 and 2004.
Couple of Assembly segments from Advani's constituencies which have a large BJP following like Ellisbridge and Gandhingar South (Gandhinagar was one Assembly segment before delimitation, now it has been divided into two Assembly seats) have been excluded.
Two new Assembly segements of Sanad and Kalol have been included in the geographical area of the seat after delimitation.
"In the December 2007 Assembly elections, we had lost in just Kalol Assembly segment which comes in the delimited Gandhinagar Lok Sabha constituency," another BJP leader said.
"We had won all other Assembly seats. This only shows that this is one of the safest seat for Advani," he claimed.
The constituency will have more than 1,600 booths and the BJP has chalked out plans to secure booths for their prime ministerial candidate, sources said.
There will be a triangular contest in the Gandhinagar seat this time as Congress has fielded Kalol MLA Suresh Patel and denseuse Mallika Sarabhai is also in the fray as an Independent candidate.
