The three-day conclave of Bharatiya Janata Party today kicked off with the spotlight on Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi, projected by some as the party's prime ministerial face, amid voices in the party that his popularity has grown significantly to make a mark on the national polity.

The conclave, convened mainly to ratify the presidentship of Rajnath Singh who took over in January, will see the party deliberate on its road map in the run up to the next general elections besides discussing the political and economic issues confronting the country.

The BJP will chalk out a strategy to project itself as an alternative in the next general elections at the meeting of its national council starting tomorrow.
