KOLKATA: Bengal BJP has concluded that failure to secure votes of Muslim community as expected was the reason why it was defeated in Bongaon.At an extended state committee meeting on Wednesday, the BJP state unit analysed its performance in the Bongaon Lok Sabha and Krishnagunj assembly bypolls.BJP state president Rahul Sinha told ET after the meeting, "our results were satisfactory even though we had failed to wrest the two seats from Trinamool Congress . But there is no reason for the ruling party to be happy with their victory as these were byelections and people knew that results of the polls would not change the government."Sinha also said that their main target before next year's assembly elections would be to reduce CPM's vote share and mobilise the same towards BJP. "We want to tell the people that vote for CPM in the coming elections will only brighten the scope for Trinamool's victory and we hope people of our state no longer want Trinamool Congress to rule for another five years. So, CPM is our next target," Sinha added.BJP sources said that the national executive of the party will meet in Delhi on February 25, mainly to review the party's membership drive.Bengal president Sinha will also attend the meeting and possibilities are there that the party leadership will take up the issue of its performance in the Bengal by-elections and discuss the same with Sinha. BJP national secretary and in charge of the party affairs in Bengal, Siddharth Nath Singh , said that he had already submitted a report to the central leadership about BJP's performance in Bengal by-polls.The party demanded elections to the Kolkata Municipal Corporation, scheduled for April 18, be deferred. Senior BJP leader Tathagata Roy told ET after the state committee meeting, "we want April 18 elections be deferred as political parties would not get enough time to use loudspeakers for campaigning. We will urge the state election commission to defer the April 18 polls as major examinations will end on March 31 and till that day, no political parties would be able to use loudspeakers to run their campaigns."Mamata Banerjee's government is keen on holding KMC polls on April 18 and elections to 93 other municipalities on April 25. Roy said that his party would try to finalise the list of candidates for the KMC polls by the first week of March. He also said that the party will decide mayoral candidate for KMC polls later.
