The BJP Parliamentary Party will hold its first meeting on Thursday during Parliament’s Winter Session. The party is likely to felicitate Prime Minister Narendra Modi for leading the party to massive wins in three out of four assembly polls.
The BJP Parliamentary Party, which includes all its Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha members, generally meets every week during the session.
In the meetings, all senior BJP leaders, including PM Modi, address the workers on various issues germane to the agenda in Parliament and also to its organisational and political campaigns for the coming events.
The party’s parliamentary meeting comes at a crucial time when the BJP is deliberating on the Chief Ministerial candidate for the newly won states- Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh.
Meanwhile, Vasundhara Raje is heading to New Delhi where she will be meeting the party high command on Thursday, as per reports.
Besides Raje, former Rajsamand MP Diya Kumari, Union Minister former Jodhpur MP Gajendra Singh Shekhawat and former Alwar MP Mahant Balaknath are also in contention for the top job.
Amid the buzz over the CM pick, several Lok Sabha MPs including Union ministers Narendra Singh Tomar and Prahlad Singh Patel handed over their resignation to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla a day ahead of the parliamentary meeting.
The move is believed to be driven by Bharatiya Janata Paty’s plans to move elected parliamentarians to bigger roles in the states.
The BJP announced that 12 MPs, who have been recently elected to state assemblies will now quit Lok Sabha, amid speculation that they will get new roles in the newly elected state governments in Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan.
All three Union ministers — Narendra Singh Tomar, Prahlad Singh Patel and Renuka Singh — will also quit the Modi government as a procedural formality.
