BJP BRASS BRAINSTORMS ON LIST; CEC MEET TODAY

 

DC CORRESPONDENT
NEW DELHI, FEB. 28

Ahead of the BJP central election committee's (CEC) meeting on Thursday, the top brass of the party on Wednesday brainstormed over the probable candidates for the Lok Sabha polls in many states. Union home minister Amit Shah and BJP president J.P. Nadda held separate meetings with party leaders from Madhya Pradesh, Haryana, Rajasthan, Delhi and Uttarakhand, among others.

So far, similar meetings with leaders from Uttar Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Telangana have already been held.

According to party sources, the first list is expected to include the names of heavyweights like Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Mr Shah. The first list may also include many seats that the BJP had lost in the 2019 general election.

The names of Mr Modi and Mr Shah, who was then the party's national president and had made his Lok Sabha poll debut from Gandhinagar, were on the party's first list of candidates for the 2019 Lok Sabha elections as well.

While the lists of candidates in 2019 were released only after the Election Commission had announced the general election schedule, it is going to be different this time as the BJP looks to follow the template seen during the last round of Assembly polls in five states when it named its candidates, especially in the seats the party had lost five years earlier, before the announcement of poll dates.

 

FIRST LIST LIKELY TODAY; Prime Minister Narendra Modi and home minister Amit Shah may figure in it.

Top brass meets leaders from Madhya Pradesh, Haryana, Rajasthan, Delhi and Uttarakhand.
