BJP chief meets over party’s Bihar core committee, chalks out road ahead- via protests, wooing broader base

The Hindu  

On a day when Janata Dal –Rashtriya Janata Dal alliance swore in its council of ministers in Bihar, the BJP, left out in the cold after the Chief Minister Nitish Kumar broke their alliance, got into a huddle to discuss the future course of action for the party in the State, with the immediate resolve that the General Elections in 2024 are to prioritised. BJP president J.P. Nadda, Union Home Minister Amit Shah as well as 20 other leaders of the BJP in Bihar, including State unit president Sanjay Jayaswal and former Union Minister Ravi Shankar, met in New Delhi over the party’s rather lonely predicament. BJP will contest the 2024 Lok Sabha elections under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and we will win more than 35 seats.” Sources present at the meeting said that the leadership was clear that the immediate priority was the 2024 General Election, and since the polls were for the national level, there was some comfort with regard to the fact that Prime Minister Narendra Modi was the face of the party. Suspense also prevails over whether or not former Deputy Chief Minister Sushil Modi, currently out of Bihar state politics and a member of the Rajya Sabha, will be brought back to helm affairs.
