Nadda to meet Bihar MPs to discuss poll strategy

August 29, 2020 11:12

Bhartiya Janata Party president J P Nadda will chair a meeting of all the party MPs from Bihar and senior party leaders on Saturday to finalise its poll strategy for the upcoming state assembly elections.

According to sources, all the BJP MPs from Bihar including union ministers Ravishankar Prasad, Giriraj Singh, R K Singh, Nityanand Rai and Ashwini Choubey are likely to attend the meeting at the party office to discuss preparations for Bihar elections.

"BJP chief wants to know the ground reality ahead of the election and will discuss the seat-sharing to know the views of the MPs for the upcoming polls.

"The meeting with MPs is considered to be very important as their feedback will also be used in seat-sharing for National Democratic Alliance (NDA)," sources said.

The sources further said that Nadda will start his Bihar tour if lockdown is lifted in the state.

National General Secretary Bhupender Yadav was appointed as party's state in-charge in December last year.

Bihar has 243 Assembly constituencies and elections in the state are due in October-November as the tenure of the current Assembly is scheduled to end on November 29.

The Election Commission has not yet taken a final call on poll dates in Bihar due to coronavirus pandemic and has sought suggestions from political parties. -- ANI
