Hyderabad A key national-level meeting of the BJP was underway in Hyderabad on Sunday to discuss the organisational matters in the run up to coming Assembly elections in some States. Presided over by BJP’s national president J P Nadda, the meeting was attended by state presidents from 11 States. Party’s organisational secretaries and in-charges from 11 states were also attending the meeting.
BJP’s newly appointed state presidents in Telugu states were among those to participate in the meeting. Party general secretary B L Santhosh, national vice president D K Aruna and other senior leaders were also attending the key meeting.
Earlier, Union minister for tourism and culture G Kishan Reddy, who was last week named as the BJP president for Telangana, received J P Nadda at Begumpet Airport. Former state BJP president Bandi Sanjay, MP K Laxman, MLA Eatala Rajender and other leaders were also present. Former Union minister D Purandeswari, who was appointed BJP’s Andhra Pradesh unit president last week, also attended the meeting.
Nadda is likely to have given directions to the party presidents of 11 states in view of the coming Assembly elections and the next year’s Lok Sabha polls. The meeting reportedly discussed the changes to be made to tone up the organisation ahead of the polls. The choice of Hyderabad as the venue for the meeting is seen as an attempt by the BJP to dispel the growing notion that the party is going soft on Telangana’s ruling party Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS).
