After the absence of former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee cost the party dear in the Lok Sabha elections, BJP has decided to come out with an appeal to the voters from the ailing leader on Tuesday and harness it liberally in the three poll-bound States.
"Vajpayee will issue an appeal to the voters of Maharashtra, Haryana and Arunachal Pradesh on behalf of BJP tomorrow. Our spokesperson Prakash Javadekar and I will call on him in this regard," BJP election in-charge Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi told PTI.
Naqvi said though he was still not aware of what the appeal would be, the probability of a letter from the veteran leader to the electorate could not be ruled out. In some of the recent elections, Vajpayee has issued appeals to the voters through letters and a section of the party still swears by the sway he has among the people.
The appeal will include old clippings of Vajpayee's speeches (both audio and video), sources said.
