Ahead of upcoming assembly polls, PM holds meeting with top BJP leaders

Prime Minister Narendra Modi today held a meeting with top BJP leaders, including party chief Amit Shah, in which they deliberated over a host of organisational issues.

The meeting, which was held at the prime minister's official residence here, lasted more than three hours and was attended by all BJP general secretaries.

A senior party leader said organisational issues were discussed at length at the meeting.

The meeting comes as the BJP gears up to fight a number of assembly polls, including the key election to the Karnataka Assembly and the Modi government readies to present its final full-fledged budget.

The BJP is running a high-voltage campaign in poll-bound Tripura and Meghalaya, both of which are likely to go to polls next month, and Karnataka, where elections are expected to take place in May.
