The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is conducting an organisational election review meeting at its headquarters extension office in the national capital on Sunday.
Organisation General Secretary BL Santosh, National General Secretaries, all state presidents, state organisation general secretaries, and organisation election in-charges and co-in-charges are attending the meeting. Party President JP Nadda is scheduled to address the session at noon.
According to party sources, the review focuses on elections for Mandal, District, and State office-bearers. The BJP has also decided that the process of electing the National President will begin only after 50% of state elections are completed. The party aims to complete elections for Mandal, District, and State positions in 50% of states by 15 January.
On 26 December, the BJP held a brainstorming session with the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) at its headquarters extension office in Delhi. Discussions centred on improving coordination between the BJP and RSS for the upcoming Delhi Assembly elections.
On Saturday, BJP State President Virendra Sachdeva accused Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government of settling illegal voters in the city ahead of the elections. Sachdeva alleged that this practice has been a recurring issue, with the Kejriwal government facilitating illegal voter settlements before every assembly election.
"Arvind Kejriwal and his party's government are continuously settling illegal voters in Delhi. Today we showed six examples... Arvind Kejriwal does the work of settling illegal voters in Delhi before every assembly election," Sachdeva said during a press briefing.
He further highlighted a pattern of fraudulent voter additions, pointing to an increase in voter numbers during previous elections. "In 2015, 14 lakh votes were increased, in 2019, 9 lakh votes were increased, and the same conspiracy is being hatched in Delhi now," he added. According to Sachdeva, this practice is a tactic employed by the Delhi government to influence election results in their favour.
The Delhi Assembly elections are expected to be held in early 2025. The Aam Aadmi Party has already released the list of all 70 candidates for the polls. Congress, which ruled Delhi for 15 consecutive years, has performed poorly in the last two assembly elections, failing to secure any seats. In the 2020 assembly elections, AAP won 62 out of 70 seats, while the BJP secured eight seats.
