Srinagar: The Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) election committee will hold a meeting on Saturday morning in Jammu to discuss the upcoming Rajya Sabha polls scheduled for October 24.
Sources told KNO that the party’s election committee will convene tomorrow at the party headquarters in Jammu to strategize for the upcoming Rajya Sabha elections.
The meeting will also be attended by Tarun Chugh, BJP National General Secretary and in-charge for J&K, who is expected to arrive in Jammu late tonight.
The sources said that the party will discuss its overall strategy for the polls.
“The party will deliberate on whether to contest the election for the first two seats, which the ruling alliance is expected to win comfortably, or to field a candidate for only one seat, for which a combined election will take place,” they said, adding that the names of probable candidates may also be discussed.
They added that feedback from the meeting will be sent to the party high command, which will finalize the candidate.
Sources disclosed that BJP spokesperson Advocate Sunil Sethi, former state president Ravinder Raina, and former Deputy Chief Minister Nirmal Singh are frontrunners for the seat that the BJP is in a strong position to win. (KNO)
