Days after being defeated in Assembly elections, BJP President Amit Shah on Thursday held a meeting with party office bearers, state BJP chiefs and other officials to galvanize the party's frontal organisations in view of the 2019 Lok Sabha polls.
However, he didn't speak about the party's defeat in the polls but talked about the preparedness of party "morchas" and chalked out future plans in an attempt to give a new touch to party's social engineering move.
Addressing reporters, BJP General Secretary Bhupendra Yadav announced programmes of the party beginning on December 15. These will continue till February.
The party will hold a two-day convention of its Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM) in New Delhi on December 15-16 while a two-day National Executive meeting of the women wing will be held at Ahmedabad.
