State BJP chief Keshav Prasad Maurya will hold his maiden meeting with office-bearers on July 23 wherein the new dates for the state executive committee meeting could be decided.
BJP general secretary Vijay Bahadur Pathak said that the state chief has convened the meeting of office bearer in lucknow on July 23. “This would be the first meet of the state executive members. The agenda of this meeting, among other issues, would be to decide dates and venue of the state executive meeting,” he said.
The executive committee meeting was postponed twice. First it was to be held in Moradabad in the first week of July but it was shifted to Jhansi and fresh dates were announced. But that meeting too was cancelled at the last minute.
Pathak said that the state unit will decided about the state executive meeting after PM Narendra Modi’s visit to Gorakhpur on July 22 as the party workers are now concentrating on making the rally a success.
The BJP believe around 5 lakh people will attend the PM’s rally at Gorakhpur where he will lay the foundation stone of AIIMS and also announce the revival of a fertiliser unit defunct for the last three decades.
During his visit, Modi is also slated to unveil the statue of Mahant Avaidhnath at Gorakshnath temple and will also address saints and sadhus there.
Due to the PM’s visit, the UP government has embarked to esnure foolproof security by deploying ATS commandos and screening people entering the country across the porous Indo-Nepal border.
Official sources here said the state government has already decided to deploy 4 DIGs, 8 SPs, 12 ASPs, 39 DSPs, 751 newly recruited police constables, eight companies of PAC and 20 companies of central para-military forces
