With JD-U having taken a firm stand on the Narendra Modi issue, BJP is preparing for an eventuality of going it alone in Bihar in the next Lok Sabha elections.
An indication to this effect was given by the party leaders from Bihar while discussing the political situation in the state with the top party leadership here today.
The central leadership also asked the party leaders to strengthen the party at the grassroots level and reach out to the masses.
Top BJP leaders from the state which met the party leadership here discussed the current political situation arising after JD-U sharpened its attack on Modi. JD-U is also exerting pressure on BJP for early declaration of its Prime Ministerial candidate having "secular credentials".
"The party's 10-member core group from Bihar unit discussed with the central leadership the current political situation. Party leaders from the state have entrusted the responsibility of taking a decision on the political situation in Bihar to the party's central leadership," BJP Spokesperson Shahnawaz Hussain told reporters after the meeting.
Hussain said BJP President Rajnath Singh has directed the party's state unit to further strengthen the organisation in Bihar.
