BJP wants to make national security a political issue by raking it up at a pan-India level and tell the public that the government is “not serious” on the issue and is instead doing “vote-bank politics”. Among the places where the campaign will be launched are Hyderabad, Patna, Raipur, Chandigarh, Chamba, Bangalore, Bhopal, Mumbai, Jaipur, Thiruvananthapuram, Lucknow, Kolkata, Bhubaneshwar, Ahmedabad and Guwahati.
