Karnataka, BJPs new battlefield
By Vijesh Kamath ,DH News Service,Bangalore:
With Gujarat under its belt, the BJP has now cast its eyes on another prize catch - Karnataka. The BJP on Monday zeroed in on Bangalore as the destination for its all- important National Council meeting.

The three-day event, scheduled to be held in the last week of January, is being prepared as a sling shot for the party to accelerate its campaigning for Assembly elections in the State.
The entire top brass of the party, including national president Rajnath Singh, former deputy prime minister L K Advani and chief ministers of all BJP-ruled states will descend on Bangalore to participate in the National Council.
Former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee will also attend the meeting, health permitting, sources in the BJP told Deccan Herald.
The 2,500 delegates will also include all the 145 BJP Lok Sabha members, its Rajya Sabha members, and party MLAs from all the state assemblies in the country.
The party decision to hold the National Council in Bangalore, coming a day after the verdict of the Gujarat Assembly elections, is a conscious one. The State unit of the party will make use of the presence of its top leaders in Bangalore for extensive campaigning in the State. The star campaigner will, of course, be Gujarat’s Narendra Modi. 
The party is trying to rope in the leader for a whirlwind campaign tour spanning the length and breadth of the State.
Agenda
The meeting will deliberate on the national issues, the political scenario in the State and future road path of the party. An important decision to be taken at the National Council will be an amendment to the BJP constitution to reserve 33 per cent of all posts in the party for women.
The National Executive will be held on the first day. Both the Council and Executive are expected to endorse the projection of L K Advani as the party’s prime ministerial candidate and will identify the challenges faced by the party and ways to tackle them.
While elections in Karnataka will be on the top of its agenda, strategies to draw up a winning formula in the forthcoming Assembly elections in BJP-ruled states  - Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh - will also be discussed.
Analysis
Meanwhile, the party’s top brass in the state have already started analysing the Gujarat results. Can the BJP romp home a similar victory in Karnataka. Party insiders feel there is much difference between Karnataka and Gujarat.
“First of all, we have no leader in the state to match the charisma and dynamism of Modi. However, the manner in which Modi surpassed opposition within his own party will be fitting lesson for dissidents in the party in Karnataka”, a top functionary said.
