NEW DELHI: As the government mulls whether to bring a special law to fight terror, its principal challenger BJP has already got into the act, taking up terrorism in a big way even before dates for the coming assembly polls are announced. It has also drafted Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi in what promises to be a high decibel campaign.
The top BJP leadership including party chief Rajnath Singh, senior leaders L K Advani and Arun Jaitley, will be joined on stage by Modi, the party's star anti-terror campaigner, for a rally in Karol Bagh here on Friday.
The rally, which comes within a week of Saturday's serial blasts that rocked the capital, is a clear statement of the BJP's intent to highlight the Centre's ''failure'' on the internal security front.
Modi, after the Gujarat police's success in nabbing SIMI activists and others behind the Ahmedabad blasts a month back, has emerged as the opposition's key campaigner against terror.
The Gujarat CM, who emerged as one of the most important faces of the party at the BJP's national executive last weekend in Bangalore, is tipped to be the main attraction at Friday's rally.
