State BJP chief Keshav Prasad Maurya will hold his maiden meeting with party office-bearers on at 11 am Wednesday to chalk out the future strategy of the party. In-charge of UP affairs, Om Mathur will preside over the meeting.
“Nothing new is expected from this meeting but it could pave the way for formation of a new team,” said a senior BJP leader. “The office-bearers who will be in attendance are outgoing members and were part of former state chief Dr laxmi Kant Bajpai’s team,” he said.
Meanwhile, talking to ‘The Pioneer’, Keshav Prasad Maurya said that he will constitute his team at the earliest. “I was busy touring across the state and meeting party workers. I will declare my team very soon,” he said.
However he refused to divulge whether youths will find prefercne over the elkderly leaders in his team. Instead he said that the BJP has always taken along leaders of all caste, creed and age along and it will be no exception this time.
“Our aim is to win in the excess of 265 seats in the 2017 Assembly polls and will achieve our target. There is no looking back. Workers are enthusiastic as they can see the formation of a BJP government at the horizon. I can see hopes in the eyes of the people too because they want to get rid of this corrupt and in-efficient Samajwadi Party government,” Maurya said.
