Close on the heels of the Opposition Congress building momentum for its poll preparations, the BJP is set to hold a State executive in Bengaluru on September 11 to finalise programmes to galvanise its cadre ahead of the next Assembly elections.
The executive, which will be held at Palace Grounds, will be attended by former Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa, who has been elevated as member of the party’s highest decision-making body of Parliamentary Board, party national general secretary and State in charge Arun Singh, Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai, and State president Nalin Kumar Kateel. All Ministers, party MPs, legislators, and office-bearers will also take part.
The BJP is closely watching the apparent resurgence of the Congress, which is in an upbeat mood after an encouraging response to the convention held recently to mark the 75th birthday of its leader Siddaramaiah in Davangere and the Independence Day march taken out in Bengaluru.
