the meeting. State BJP Chief and MP Nandkumar Singh Chouhan while addressing the sgate executive said, the BJP pulled off victory in by-polls at Shahdol lok Sabha seat and Nepanagar assembly seat in November last due to CM Shivraj Singh Chouhan’s popularity and PM Narendra Modi’s demonetisation drive.
“Chouhans popularity and people’s faith in him along with State Governments welfare schemes and cadres hard labour made us victorious in the by-polls,” Chouhan added.
“CMs presence and the road shows fetched us victory with the record 42,000 votes in Nepanagar,” he further said. “PM Modi’s note ban amid speculation that the move will hit BJP in the by-polls, won peoples’ support,” Chouhan said at the inaugural session of two-day State executive meet of
BJP here.
The message that it was against black money, fake currency, terrorism and naxalism went down well with the people who voted for the BJP in the polls, he said. “In the recent three civic polls at Amarkantak, Harda and Mandav, only Chief Ministers name, not his presence, brought us victories. Chouhan was our trump card,” the State BJP chief saidPrior to the meeting, a meeting of the State’s party office-bearers was held to discuss agenda and
other issues.
Besides, heads of various party fronts, district presidents and organisation secretaries would take part in the meeting besides the party’s State executive members.
