BJP's 'Chintan Baithak' continues in Ahmedabad to prepare blueprint for Gujarat Assembly polls

According to party sources, two to three major issues to be discussed thoroughly are the BJP`s prospects in all the 182 seats, and what plans and strategies should be implemented to win a record-breaking number of seats in the upcoming Gujarat Assembly polls.

Ahmedabad: As Gujarat heads for Assembly elections later this year, and the Congress is busy preparing plans at the `Chintan Shivir` in Udaipur and the AAP has launched Parivartan Yatra in the state, the ruling BJP also kicked off its state-level `Chintan Baithak` on the outskirts of Ahmedabad on Sunday morning.

The two-day brainstorming session, which started at a club in Bagodara, is chaired by Union Home and Cooperative Minister Amit Shah while prominent participants include national General Secretary, Organisation, BL Santosh, Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel, state unit president CR Patil, and other senior leaders, like former Deputy Chief Minister Nitin Patel.

Gujarat BJP in-charge Bhupendra Yadav could not reach in time as he was deputed to Tripura as a central party observer for the election of the new legislative party leader.

Party sources said two to three major issues to be discussed thoroughly are the BJP`s prospects on all the 182 seats, and what plans and strategies should be implemented to win a record-breaking number of seats in the upcoming elections.

The second challenge likely to be discussed is how to counter issues like inflation, unemployment, and the image of the state government, which is badly damaged by paper leaks in competitive exams one after another.
