BJP president JP Nadda on Tuesday went into a long huddle with party national general secretaries to deliberate on the forthcoming BJP national executive conclave, India hosting the G20 and the Assembly polls in about a dozen States in the run up to the 2024 General Elections.
They also discussed the party's ongoing organisational exercise for the 2024 Lok Sabha polls, including the 'Lok Sabha Prawas' exercise aimed at brightening its prospects in 160 seats where it has been traditionally weak.
Party sources said the national executive, which is scheduled for January 16-17 in the national capital, may have three resolutions to cover political, economic and foreign policy issues while stressing that nothing has been finalised yet.
The party will go all out to promote G20 events amid the opposition's attempts to play down India's presidency of the elite grouping by pointing out that it came to the country by rotation and was not a government's achievement.
"Prime Minister Narendra Modi has often emphasised that India's presidency of the bloc belongs to the nation and not to the party. He has stressed on using the opportunity to showcase the country's heritage and cultural riches. The BJP will go out to mobilise people," a BJP leader said.
BJP vice president Baijayant Jay Panda will coordinate the organisational exercise related to G20. India has planned around 200 events across 56 cities in the run up to the G20 summit in September.
Political observers believe that the ruling BJP will leverage the global profile associated with the event for electoral gains as it works to retain yet another term at the Centre.
Around 350 senior leaders, including Modi and other bigwigs, will attend the executive meeting. Amid the strong possibility of Nadda's term being extended beyond the three years of tenure for a party president, sources said it is a practice for the incumbent to continue in the position till fresh elections are conducted. Only the Parliamentary Board, the apex organisational body of the BJP, can take any decision related to the national president, they added.
