"We will encourage ministers and lawmakers' families to work for strengthening the party, but workers will get preference for representation in polls," BJP chief JP Nadda said
The Madhya Pradesh urban local body elections will be held in two phases. The first is on July 6 in 11 districts and the second phase on July 13 in 38 districts. Votes will be counted on July 17 for the first phase and July 18 for the second phase.
The elections in three districts - Alirajpur, Mandla and Dindori - will be held after the term of the local bodies ends.
Ahead of the polls, BJP national president JP Nadda praised the performance of the government headed by Shivraj Singh Chouhan. However, Mr Nadda said the party's parliamentary board will decide issues related to the 2023 state elections.
On the issue of dynastic politics, Mr Nadda said, "We will encourage ministers and lawmakers' families to work for strengthening the party, but workers will get preference for representation in polls."
