New Delhi: The BJP on Friday asked its state units to prepare themselves to face a mid-term parliamentary poll claiming that there was a 'big breach' within the UPA over the nuclear deal.
A call to this effect was given to the party's state units after a meeting of top BJP leaders at the party headquarters on Friday evening.
In the meeting the BJP discussed that the mid-term polls were imminent, as the 'crack' in the UPA, particularly the Congress and the Left, could not be bridged at all.
Those who attended the meeting included party President Rajnath Singh, Leaders of Opposition in Parliament L K Advani and Jaswant Singh and senior leaders who Murli Manohar Joshi, Sushma Swaraj and Bal Apte.
BJP General Secretary Arun Jaitley said the state units will have to prepare to face an early election because the UPA will not be able to hold on till 2009 when the next general elections is due.
''Today's meeting concentrated only on mid-term polls and nothing else,'' he said.
Jaitley said the government should accept the BJP's demand for a Joint Parliamentary Committee for bringing a national consensus on an issue like Indo-US nuclear deal.
He added that the BJP's national executive meeting will be held between September 21 and 23 at Bhopal.
