BJP president Amit Shah Sunday held deliberations with the party’s core group leaders from three Assembly poll-bound states.
Party sources said Shah held separate meetings with leadersfrom Maharashtra, Jharkhand and Haryana, all of which would go to polls laterthis year, at the BJP headquarters here.
The deliberations among the party leaders are believed tohave focussed on the preparation for the polls, with Shah taking stock of theprevailing political situation and discussing the BJP’s strategy.
The BJP is in power in all the three states and their chiefministers also attended the exercise.
The BJP’s main rival in all three states is either theCongress, as in Haryana, or an opposition alliance in which it is a majorpresence, as in Maharashtra and Jharkhand.The saffron party decimated its rivals in thesestates in the recent Lok Sabha polls but Assembly elections will be fought onstate-specific issues, with the performance of the respective state governmentslikely to be central planks.
