Prime Minister Narendra Modi will meet BJP general secretaries on Saturday. This is the first meeting that Mr. Modi will have with his party colleagues after assuming office.
The meeting is expected to take place at the PM’s residence to discuss organisational affairs.
According to sources, Mr. Modi does not want the organisational strength to be weakened in the wake of the massive mandate in the general election.
The BJP will also see new faces in the party as it does not want to weaken the organisation ahead of the crucial Assembly polls in Maharashtra and Haryana later this year and in Jammu and Kashmir and Jharkhand early next year. BJP general secretaries Ananth Kumar, Thawarchand Gehlot, Dharmendra Pradhan, Varun Gandhi and Rajiv Pratap Rudy have won the LoK Sabha polls and the party will have to replace them by a new set of office-bearers. Of the other general secretaries, J.P. Nadda and Amit Shah are in race for the party president’s post.
