All prominent leaders -- including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, BJP President JP Nadda, Union Defense Minister Rajnath Singh and Union Home Minister Amit Shah -- will participate in the meeting.
The BJP will take a call on candidates for the coming assembly elections in three states with a meeting of its Central Election Committee on Friday, sources have said. All prominent leaders -- including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, BJP President JP Nadda, Union Defense Minister Rajnath Singh and Union Home Minister Amit Shah -- will participate in the meeting that will be held at the party headquarters in Delhi.
The meet will finalise candidates for Tripura, Meghalaya and Nagaland, which go to polls next month. Tripura will vote on February 16, Meghalaya and Nagaland on February 27.
In all three states, the BJP is in power. While it has formed government in Tripura single-handedly, in the other two states, it has tied up with regional powers.
Sources said the party is likely to drop many of the sitting MLAs in all three states.
