Modi to BJP: Get ready
Gujarat CM Narendra Modi, who has virtually taken over the BJP’s 2014 election campaign, on Tuesday urged party leaders to start preparing aggressively for it.
Mr Modi, who attended his first parliamentary board meeting Tuesday after BJP president Rajnath Singh made him a member of the party’s highest decision-making body, also met party general secretaries and media managers to review preparations for the Lok Sabha polls as well as Assembly polls in Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan and Delhi.
The Gujarat CM asked leaders to use the social media more to woo young voters.
Before that, Mr Modi also met parliamentary party chief L.K. Advani, and termed their meeting as “wonderful”.

U.S. tornado kills dozens, 101 rescued
Oklahoma City, May 21: US rescue teams scoured a shattered suburb for survivors Tuesday after a giant tornado tore through the outskirts of Oklahoma City, killing at least two dozen people, including nine children.
State medical examiner’s office spokeswoman Amy Elliott told reporters 24 victims had been confirmed dead, scaling back from a previous count of 51 that she attributed to possible double reporting. Seven of the dead youngsters were found at a school, she added.
At least 101 people have been pulled alive from under debris, officials said. — AFP
