MP: A key BJP working committee meeting to set the agenda for the assembly elections has begun in Gwalior

The Bharatiya Janata Party’s working committee meeting in Madhya Pradesh, where Assembly elections will be conducted at the end of the year, started on Sunday in Gwalior, a party official said.

Union Minister Bhupender Yadav served as the meeting’s master of ceremonies, according to Bhagwandas Sabnani, general secretary of the party’s state unit.

One of the party’s top strategists, Union Minister Amit Shah, and Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan would join the vital one-day meeting later and address the attendees, a different official said.

The purpose of the conference, according to him, is to sketch out a plan for winning the Assembly elections by making sure that nine crore people are informed about the accomplishments of the state and federal administrations.

“A political settlement will be discussed with Shah and Chouhan present. It would speak extensively about the accomplishments of Chouhan’s administration since 2003 and throw light on the state’s poor situation during Congress control between 1993 and 2003, when Digvijaya Singh served as chief executive, the official added.

He claimed that the resolution would draw attention to the poor state of the roads, frequent power outages, and water shortages that beset MP at the time, when it was referred to as a “BIMARU” (ailing) state, an acronym for Bihar, MP, Rajasthan, and Uttar Pradesh, because of its deficiencies in a number of social, health, and economic indicators.

The party’s MP election coordinator, Union Minister Bhupender Yadav, and his cabinet colleagues Narendra Singh Tomar and Ashwini Vaishnaw urged the 1,700 attendees to inform the general public about the welfare programs of the BJP government and their advantages.

The functionary said that they had also been instructed to inform the populace of the Congress’s divisive politics.

With the exception of the period from December 2018 to March 2020, when the state was governed by the Congress under Kamal Nath, the BJP has remained in power in MP since 2003.
