IMPHAL: BJP national general secretary and election-in-charge of Manipur, Bhupendra Yadav, is arriving in Imphal on Saturday to chalk out strategies for the ensuing 60-member state assembly polls due early next year. The BJP, which leads a coalition government in the state, had already announced that it would go it alone in the polls.
A day ahead of Yadav’s scheduled arrival, the party’s Manipur in-charge Sambit Patra and northeast secretary (organisation) Ajay Jamwal will land in Imphal on Friday, Manipur BJP senior vice-president N Nimbus Singh told TOI on Wednesday. “After holding a series of meetings with the state unit party leaders and workers, our national party leaders may announce the number of seats our party would fight,” Nimbus added.
Yadav would gather reports from different units of the party during his stay in the state. Several party election committees are likely to be set up during the party leaders’ stay in the state, Nimbus said, adding that Yadav will also hold meetings with CM N Biren Singh, ministers, legislatures and state unit party president A Sarda Devi.
