BJP has scheduled a meeting today to discuss various issues: the most important ones being national security and ratification of Nitin Gadkari’s post as the party president.

 

BJP troubled by external as well as internal terrorism is holding a meeting in Madhya Pradesh to discuss the same. Terror attacks by foreign Islamist and Maoist groups, infiltration across the eastern border from China to Arunachal Pradesh are the likely key topics of discussion as far as terrorism is concerned.

 

BJP also seems to be in constant disagreement with the decisions taken by the ruling Congress government of late. Indo-Pak talks scheduled for 25^th Feb and the amnesty announced by P. Chidambaram for Pakistan trained Indian Militants in PoK have been highly criticised by the BJP and will be discussed intensely in the meeting as well.

 

Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi will be present at the meeting and the resolution will be passed by Friday.

 

The BJP is hoping that it will be able to corner the ruling United Progressive Alliance when the leader of the Opposition in the Rajya Sabha Arun Jaitley presents a resolution on national security

 

The other face of discussion will be the internal issues of the BJP, the most important one being the ratification of Nitin Gadkari’s post as party president. Party Spokesman Prakash Jawadekar said on Thursday morning, "The inaugural session of the national council will be addressed by party president Nitin Gadkari at 11 a.m. after his ratification for the top post."

 

Apart from that the party members present at the meeting will talk about amendments to be made to the BJP constitution so as to make the organisational election process simpler and to increase the number of central office bearers.

 

The national council will also discuss amendments to the BJP constitution that have been proposed to make the organisational election process simpler and to increase the number of central office bearers so as to reduce the work load. Jawadekar said, "Only 19 state units of the party have completed their organisational elections."
