BJP today said that it will streamline its organisation at the grassroots level before deciding the names of possible candidates for the forthcoming Lok Sabha elections.

Uttar Pradesh state party chief Laxmikant Vajpayee also told reporters here that BJP would form an election corpus of Rs 50 crore through a funds-collection drive embracing everybody from grassroots workers to top office bearers.

With an eye on the general elections, the emphasis would be on a reorganisation of the party's presence at the booth level, Vajpayee said.

He was speaking on the sidelines of a meeting here of BJP's Lok Sabha and Legislative Assembly Members and other senior leaders.
 

Newly-appointed UP in-charge and Gujarat leader Amit Shah, too, was present on the occasion.

Vajpayee said that BJP would fight the general elections on the issues of corruption, price rise and anti-national policies of the UPA-2 government.
