In Roadmap For 5 State Polls, BJP Sets Deadline To Prep Plan, Train Cadre

Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Uttarakhand, Goa and Manipur will be voting next year in the assembly elections.

With five states going into elections next year, the BJP will chalk out its roadmap at several key meetings. Party chief JP Nadda has asked state units to hold brainstorming sessions, or "Chintan Baithak" meetings, and draw up their strategies by July 10. Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Uttarakhand, Goa and Manipur will be voting next year in the assembly elections. While Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Goa and Manipur have BJP or BJP-led governments, Punjab has a Congress government. After the state-level meets, small teams are to be sent to Delhi where they will brief Mr Nadda about the preparations, following which the party leadership will finalise the election strategies for the five states. Sending out a message to its party cadres that it's time to gear up for the organisational activities which were stalled by the second wave of COVID-19, state BJP units across the country have also been asked to hold their executive meetings virtually between June 21 and 30.
