BJP to Fine-Tune Assembly Polls Strategy Today

New Delhi: Even as the Congress is trying to realize what is its stated position on Article 370, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has gone full frontal with its poll preparations. The saffron party has convened a meeting here on Tuesday for this purpose where the poll-bound states of Maharashtra, Jharkhand, and Haryana are expected to be the focus. All the three ‘prabharis’ (in-charges) of state elections have been asked to attend the meeting that is slated to be chaired by BJP working President J.P. Nadda.

Recently, BJP President and Union Home Minister Amit Shah had appointed his trusted aides Bhupendra Yadav, Om Prakash Mathur and Narendra Singh Tomar as poll in-charges of Maharashtra, Jharkhand, and Haryana, respectively. However, it is not clear whether Delhi, which will go to the polls next year, will be discussed in the meeting. This will not be the first such preparatory meeting with regard to assembly elections in the states. Earlier too the BJP held a meeting in Delhi under the chairmanship of Amit Shah, following which the in-charges for state polls were announced. Tuesday’s meeting is expected to fine-tune the strategy and campaigning that will kick off soon. Meanwhile, Shah has already started his campaign in Haryana last week. (IANS)
