Ahead of the two-day National Executive conclave of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Allahabad, BJP office-bearers met on Sunday morning to fine tune the party’s strategy for the Uttar Pradesh assembly elections. Uttar Pradesh goes to polls next year.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to inaugurate the BJP National Executive meeting around 5 pm. BJP President Amit Shah, party general secretaries Ram Madhav, Ram Lal and Bhupendra Yadav, national secretaries Siddharth Nath Singh and Shrikant Sharma and party spokesman Sambit Patra are already in Allahabad.
After the brainstorming sessions, the BJP leaders are likely to adopt the party’s strategy for the assembly elections in the most populous state of India. They will also highlight the achievements of the Modi government in the last two years and the alleged corruption of the Samajwadi Party government in Uttar Pradesh.
The two-day conclave is likely to pass a political and an economic resolution; the latter focusing on agriculture.
There is goonda raj in Uttar Pradesh under Akhilesh Yadav. The cocktail politics of Samajwadi Party, Bahujan Samaj Party, Congress and Rashtriya Lok Dal have ruined the state. We will be giving a call to end this goonda raj.Srikant Sharma, BJP national secretary
