The BJP is planning to announce its candidates for the Lok Sabha elections soon. The decision comes after requests from states like Telangana and Karnataka. The party will discuss the issue at a national council meeting and make a decision after February 21. In Telangana, the party faced criticism for not announcing candidates early enough, which may have affected their performance in the Assembly elections. The state leadership hopes that announcing the candidates early will coincide with their Vijaya Sankara Yatra campaign starting on February 20. This will allow them to start campaigning earlier than other parties.
