Even as discussions are being held among senior party leaders over government formation in Uttar Pradesh, Goa, Uttarakhand and Manipur, Bharatiya Janata Party is also analysing the results of the recently concluded assembly elections that will have an impact on the presidential polls later this year and are significant in terms of party’s preparations for the next Lok Sabha elections.
Senior leaders from the four states which the BJP has won, have been in national capital holding discussions with the party’s central leaders including Home Minister Amit Shah and party chief JP Nadda and party general secretary (organisation) BL Santhosh. There is some speculation about the party’s choice of chief ministers in Goa, Uttarakhand and Manipur. Sources told ANI that apart from government formation, the party is also carrying out an analysis of poll results about the seats party won and lost and the underlying reasons and factors.
“A seat-by-seat discussion has taken place across the four states and the areas of improvement analysed for worked upon immediately,” a source said. The sources said various factors are likely to be considered in government formation and the party will strive to strike a balance in terms of representation of regions and caste groups.
