BJP eyes expansion of party with conclave
The two-day BJP National Executive meeting in Indian state of Bengaluru from April 3 would adopt an action plan to ramp up the party's base in states where it has been weak, particularly in the South.
The conclave, to be attended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who will camp here for three days, party president Amit Shah and other top leaders, will be preceded by the Office-Bearers' meeting tomorrow.
"We will be adopting an action plan to expand the party's base ... particularly seven states - Assam, West Bengal, Odisha, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Tamil Nadu and Kerala," BJP General Secretary P Muralidhar Rao told reporters here today.
The Executive, which last met in August when it ratified the appointment of Amit Shah as party chief, was planned to be held here in January but put off as Modi was preoccupied with preparations for the visit of US President Barack Obama.
Rao said the action plan would also address the issue of making the party powerful and Number One organization in these states.
BJP had announced on Sunday it had become the world's largest organization with a membership of 8.8 crore, overtaking Communist Party of China with 8.6 crore members.
