Major Reshuffle Likely in BJP? High-Level Central Election Committee Meeting Held at PM Modi’s Residence
BJP Leadership Discusses Rajya Sabha Polls, By-Elections and Organisational Restructuring
A high-level meeting of the Central Election Committee (CEC) of the (BJP) was held at the residence of Prime Minister , signaling possible major organisational changes within the party.
The nearly two-hour meeting focused on strategies for upcoming Rajya Sabha elections, by-elections to three Upper House seats, and Legislative Council elections in several states. Senior BJP leaders, including Union Home Minister , Defence Minister , BJP president , former party chief , and National General Secretary B.L. Santosh, attended the meeting.
According to sources, discussions were held on elections to 24 Rajya Sabha seats across 10 states, along with strategies for upcoming bypolls and Legislative Council elections, including those in Maharashtra. Party leaders reportedly assessed that the BJP could secure three to four more Rajya Sabha seats than its current tally.
Sources said Prime Minister Modi advised concerned state units to review preparations thoroughly and submit feedback, with the final decisions on candidates expected to be taken by the party president.
The meeting is being viewed as politically significant, as BJP’s Central Election Committee generally does not convene solely for Rajya Sabha candidate selection. Following the formal session, Modi reportedly held a separate meeting with top leaders to review organisational preparedness and discuss appointments at both national and state levels.
Party insiders believe BJP president Nitin Nabin may announce a new team next week, making this one of the final meetings of the current committee.
