BJP state executive meeting in Kishanganj district from May 2

The BJP is set to hold its two-day state executive meeting in this minority-dominated border district from tomorrow, coming in the backdrop of the party's landslide win in neighbouring Uttar Pradesh.

The choice of the venue is important considering that the area is on the border with West Bengal where the BJP is trying hard to emerge as an alternative to the ruling Trinamool Congress by putting a thrust on Hindutva.

AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi has been active in this area and had fielded its candidate in 20 Muslim-dominated seats in Kishanganj and neighbouring area during the 2015 Assembly poll, though none of its nominees could win.

The state executive meeting will be attended by its national trainer Arvind Menon, state party in-charge and general secretary Bhupendra Yadav, Union ministers Radhamohan Singh, Ravishankar Prasad, Rajiv Pratap Rudy, Dharmendra Pradhan, Giriraj Singh besides state leaders Sushil Kumar Modi, state party chief Nityanand Rai and opposition leader in the Assembly Prem Kumar.
