HM Amit Shah inaugurates UP BJP executive committee meeting in Lucknow

Lucknow, Oct 30 (IANS) Union Home Minister Amit Shah inaugurated the BJP’s state executive committee meeting shortly after arriving in Lucknow on Friday.

The proceedings began with the ceremonial lighting of a lamp. A palpable sense of enthusiasm was evident among all the BJP leaders, ahead of the Home Minister’s arrival.

The meeting is expected to focus, in particular, on the BJP’s electoral strategy vis-à-vis the Samajwadi Party and other Opposition parties, and on how to counter their agenda.

The concluding session of the meeting will be addressed by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.
