BJP will hold Loksamvad (public discourse) across the state, in which prominent party leaders, senior members and MPs would interact with people to know about their 'aspirations and expectations' before preparing the party's manifesto for October 15 Maharashtra Assembly polls.

"The idea behind 'Loksamvad' is to include aspirations and expectations of all strata of society in the BJP election manifesto," Madhav Bhandari, Chief spokesperson of Maharashtra state BJP, told reporters here today. The 'Loksamvad' exercise would be carried out all over Maharashtra state on September 20, where important BJP leaders and MPs would interact with various organisations for their development vision for the state, Bhandari said.
