The party's parliamentary board would decide on the Prime Ministerial candidate from the the eight top leaders at an appropriate time, he said.

He said, "We think the mechanism we have introduced to choose prime ministerial candidate is right and there is no confusion among us regarding choosing the prime ministerial candidate."

Expressing confidence that NDA would form the next government at the Centre, Naqvi said that eight parties would join NDA soon.

He released the party manifesto for February 14 assembly polls in Tripura. BJP fielded 50 candidates for the sixty-member assembly.

 

He said that good governance, providing safety and security to the people, particularly the women, are the main issues on which BJP was laying importance.
