To continue its surge across the country, the BJP, during its two-day State executive committee meeting that concluded here on Sunday, decided to strengthen the booth-level teams.
Addressing the media, party city president M. Nagendra said that the party had already constituted committees for 20,000 out of 43,000 booths in the State.
“Our target is to constitute committees for another 5,000 booths by May 25 when party national president Amit Shah is expected to come to Vijayawada for a State-level meeting,” he said.
“We want to reach to the grass-roots level to create awareness on the Central government schemes and esnure that people benefited from them,” said State general secretary Suresh Reddy.
He said that the Executive Committee discussed about the prevailing drought situation in the State.
A resolution of the meeting would be released in Vijayawada on Monday, he added.
The Executive Committee also passed a resolution appreciating Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s decision to constitute a National Commission for Socially and Educationally Backward Classes (NSEBC). “This has already been passed in the Lower House and we expect that it will be cleared in the Upper House as well,” said Mr. Suresh Reddy.

“This has been a long-pending and a historic move, and many issues pertaining to the OBCs will be settled,” said Mr. Nagendra.
The committee also discussed about the ensuing two-day national executive committee meeting to be held in the city from July15.
Top sources in the party said that a national-level committee, the SPG (Special Protection Group), the security agency responsible for the Prime Minister’s security, and the NSG (National Security Guard) will be visiting the city in the first week of May to finalise the venue for the meeting and make a preliminary assessment of the security measures to be taken.
The two-day meeting is being held for the first time in Andhra Pradesh and will be attended by Mr. Modi, Mr. Amit Shah, L.K. Advani, and Union Ministers Arun Jaitley, Suresh Prabhu, and Rajnath Singh, MPs and the Chief Ministers of all the BJP-ruled States.
