VIJAYANAGARA/BENGALURU: The stage is set for BJP's two-day state executive committee meeting starting Saturday, which could lay the template for the party's strategy for the assembly elections next year.
The meeting comes in the backdrop of KS Eshwarappa's resignation from the Bommai cabinet after he was accused of abetting the suicide of civil contractor Santosh K Patil, besides the hijab and halal controversies. It will be held at Hospet in the new district of Vijayanagara, about 320km from Bengaluru, and will be inaugurated at 2.30pm on Saturday. The valedictory is scheduled for 5.30pm on Sunday, which will be attended by BJP national president JP Nadda, said Channabasavanagouda, BJP district president of Vijayanagara.
