| BJP on Thursday announced its first list of candidates for the upcoming Lok sabha elections, fielding its Prime Ministerial candidate LK Advani from Gandhinagar in Gujarat.
''The countdown to the end of the UPA rule has begun from today. Our Prime Ministerial candidate LK Advani would be contesting from the Gandhinagar parliamentary seat,'' party General Secretary Anant Kumar said while announcing the list at the party headquarters in Delhi.
The list also included the names of five other candidates - Navjot Singh Sidhu (Amritsar), Vinod Khanna (Gurdaspur), Shripad Y Naik (Panaji), Anurag Thakur (Hamirpur) and TPS Rawat (Pauri).
The decision was taken at the meeting of Central Election Committee (CEC) in Delhi on Thursday, he added.
The CEC chaired by party President Rajnath Singh was followed by a meeting of the Central Election Management Committee and the party's core group.
''The present political scenario and the ensuing instability in the centre was discussed threadbare. The core group also delved upon the situation arising if the Manmohan Singh government was reduced to a minority,'' sources said.
Thursday's meetings were attended by party's senior leaders LK Advani, Venkiah Naidu, Murli Manohar Joshi, Vinay Katiyar, Anant Kumar and Sushma Swaraj among others.
Party representatives from Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, Gujarat and Goa unit were also present in the meetings.
The party plans to announce all seats by the end of August and the state units have been asked to send their inputs on candidate selection by then, party leader Venkiah Naidu told reporters after the meeting.
