Following the success of the G20 Summit in Delhi, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday received a warm welcome at the Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) headquarters in Delhi. He will attend the central election committee (CEC) meeting, his first after key summit that saw world leaders visit the national capital.
PM Modi was received by Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Defense Minister Rajnath Singh and other top BJP leaders. Each leader handed a rose to the prime minister as he entered the headquarters.
After the completion of the global event, the BJP deliberated on its candidates for the upcoming state assembly elections.
Apart from PM Modi, Union ministers Amit Shah and Rajnath Singh, and BJP president JP Nadda are members of the CEC. The meeting’s agenda focuses on Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh.
Names of candidates for the polls in both the states could be decided in the meeting, according to a PTI report.
CEC’s previous meeting was in August and candidates for 39 seats for the polls in Madhya Pradesh and 21 for Chhattisgarh, were selected. These were for the seats where the BJP does not have incumbent MLAs.
Assembly polls are due in Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan, Telangana and Mizoram in November-December, the last round of state elections before the Lok Sabha contest in 2024.
Of these, the BJP is in power in Madhya Pradesh, and its ally Mizo National Front runs the government in Mizoram.
