'We Will Come With Absolute Majority,' Amit Shah Tells BJP Office Bearers: Live Updates

BJP national office bearers meet is taking place at Dr Ambedkar International Center.

New Delhi:

The BJP will get "absolute majority" in the 2019 assembly elections, party president Amit Shah told office bearers during a meeting of its national office bearers today in New Delhi, new agency ANI said. "BJP has the most popular leaders in the country. We should win with even more seats than the previous election," he said during the inaugural meeting. The meeting will be followed by the national meeting this afternoon.

The two-day meeting, which will be attended by the central leadership, comes in the backdrop of signs of unrest among upper castes, a core support base of the BJP, farmers' protests and angst of the SC/ST community.

The BJP national office bearers meeting is also likely to respond to concerns over the rise in oil prices and refer to the previous UPA government's "mismanagement of the economy" as it meets ahead of the Assembly polls in five states, with the Lok Sabha election less than eight months away, news agency PTI said.

BJP president Amit Shah delivered the inaugural address in the presence of the party's top leaders, including Prime Minister Modi, on Saturday afternoon, while the latter is scheduled to give the valedictory speech on Sunday.

Here are the LIVE updates on the BJP national office bearers meeting:
