"We want the verdict to be declared sooner than later," party spokesman Prakash Javadekar told reporters in New Delhi.

He, however, said the BJP and JD-U would not wait for the apex court's ruling and would launch the campaign from October 4 and 5, respectively.

The campaign programme is being worked out, Javadekar said.

He said BJP and JDU will contest the elections on separate manifestos but will evolve a Common Agenda for Governance if they come to power.
