BJP set to launch election campaign for state polls
Live MintAhead of the upcoming assembly elections in four states, the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party is all set to start its election campaign for the upcoming state polls. Members of the BJP have indicated that the party is planning to organise its first national executive meeting after the victory in 2019 general elections, in Jharkhand which is likely to go to polls in October-November. The choice of Jharkhand for the first national executive meeting is interesting because chief minister Raghubar Das is the first chief minister since the formation of the state in 2000 to have completed a full five-year term. Members of the BJP also said that the government in Jharkhand is also unique because Raghubar Das is the first non-tribal chief minister of the tribal dominated state.
