The BJP seniors took stock of the political situation and party’s poll preparedness. Sources said, the meeting also discussed the emerging opposition unity in the state and as to how , if the opposition indeed goes for some sort of alliance, such joint move could be countered.
The state leaders while briefing the central leaders about the ground realities also stressed on the all out poll campaign with PM Modi , Union home Minister Amit Shah, party president JP Nadda and others addressing the rallies in the state, which the central leaders were reported to have agreed.
The BJP top brasses advised the state leaders to remain united and involve all their strength and resources to fight the elections. They cautioned the state leaders that any misgivings about ‘groupism’ or ‘differences of opinions’ in the public perception would seriously affect the party’s poll prospect.
