AUGUST 10: The final list of the Bharatiya Janata Party BJP candidates for Maharashtra would be available on Wednesday, since some names to be sent to the central election committee would be sent only on Tuesday. The party has been waiting to finalise its recommendations from Maharashtra till Congress I and the National Congress Party NCP released their lists.
Meanwhile, the BJP alleged that misinformation about the BJP and anti-BJP propaganda is being spread through a website called atalbiharivajpayee.com8217; set up by a Sonia Gandhi sympathiser. The party8217;s spokesman, Prakash Jawdekar told reporters that it is not BJP8217;s official website.
The party has also identified the alleged mischief-maker, one Vellaringattu Thomas. The website had apparently been registered by a US company, Ind-US Internet Tech.
The website also has links to other sites like 8212; India8217;s elections.com, Soniagandhi.org, secularindia.com and Indiapakistan.com. Some of these have carried opinion polls favouring Sonia Gandhi andpropaganda against Union Home Minister L K Advani as well.
