BJP National Executive Meeting: PM Modi is expected to deliver a key address at the meeting that will be attended by 124 national executive members.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah and BJP chief JP Nadda will attend the national executive meeting this morning - first since the pandemic broke - where the party will hold extensive discussions on the election strategy in five states that will vote next year.
PM Modi is expected to deliver a key address at the meeting that will be attended by 124 national executive members. Several Chief Ministers and members from different states are expected to join the meet virtually, BJP general secretary Arun Singh said.
"In view of the ongoing COVID-19 protocols, all state presidents, state general secretaries (organisation) and national executive members of that respective state will attend the meeting virtually from their respective state party offices," the BJP said in a communication to all its state units.
The bypoll results in three Lok Sabha and 29 assembly seats across 13 states and a Union Territory may weigh on the minds of the party leadership. Though the BJP is in power in Himachal Pradesh, the Congress winning the Lok Sabha bypoll and three assembly seats has caused concern in the party.
