BJP brass to activate machinery in states due for elections in 2 years

Senior BJP leaders such as Home Minister Amit Shah and party’s national president JP Nadda have taken over the task of preparing the BJP’s electoral machinery in the states going to polls in the next two years.

According to party functionaries including Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh and Arunachal Pradesh, Shah will visit six states in 14 days in April. He will also go to Bihar for two days this month.

Nadda will visit four states including Rajasthan and Himachal Pradesh. He visited Rajasthan on Saturday and the three-day visit to Himachal Pradesh will begin from April 9. Nadda is likely to visit Chhattisgarh and another state but the schedule is yet to be finalised.

BJP’s Chhattisgarh co-incharge Nitin Naveen told ET, “We are currently busy with the Khairagarh assembly by-election in Chhattisgarh on April 12. We will have a meeting after April 12 and only after that any program of our top leaders will be discussed.

Both the leaders will hold meetings of party workers and MLAs to assess the status of the organization as well as the state governments of the BJP.

The party’s top leadership is also encouraging party MPs to participate in social works and other causes in their constituencies to prepare for the fight for the 2024 general election. During the current Parliament session, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been meeting MPs of different states in groups. According to people aware of the matter, he has directed the party MPs not only to participate in political activities but also in social works and activities.

For example, the Gujarat unit of the BJP distributed a special saffron cap along with a packet of nutrition chocolates to all party MPs. A similar cap was worn by PM Modi during his recent roadshow in Ahmedabad on March 11. Some party leaders like Dharmendra Pradhan, Giriraj Singh and others have made public appearances wearing caps.

In the coming days, MPs will distribute nutritional chocolates to women in their constituencies as part of the BJP’s women outreach programme.
