"The people of this state want freedom from the governance of Bahujan Samaj Party but they are also looking for a constructive alternative. This alternative cannot be the hooliganism of Samajwadi Party or the corruption-ridden governance of the Congress Party. This alternative can only be the BJP," Kulkarni said in Agra.

"I have toured the state in the last year-and-a-half and I think that people of the state admire our party and there is an undercurrent of support for our party. The BJP would definitely come to power and we are confident of it," he added.
