Union home minister Amit Shah said the BJP will face the 2024 parliamentary elections under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and form the government for the third time. Shah said the pull of PM Modi and the works done by the central government will help the BJP in the next Lok Sabha elections with more seats than what it had won in 2014 and 2019 elections. He was addressing members on the concluding day of the two-day joint national executive committee meeting of BJP’s seven national frontal organisations.
Shah asked the rank and file to continue strengthening their organisations at the booth level and keep building contacts with important local persons. Arun Singh, BJP national general secretary, said that all the alliance partners of the BJP will remain in the NDA in the next elections. “In Bihar, too, the existing alliance partners will remain in the NDA during the 2024 parliamentary elections as well as the 2025 assembly elections,” he added.
Nearly 1,100 functionaries from various states had gathered for the mega event. On his arrival at the Patna airport, Shah was given a warm welcome by the workers. Later, Shah, along with BJP national president J P Nadda, went to the party’s state headquarters to have two rounds of discussions – first with the MPs, MLAs and MLCs, and then with Bihar unit’s core committee members. Singh said 378 delegates were sent on a two-day stay in 200 assembly constituencies across the state to get a feedback on the party’s strengths and weaknesses. “It was done on the advice of PM Modi. The delegates were from various states with linguistic differences, but there was no problem in communication at the local level,” Singh said.
