Modi and Amit Shah to participate in BJP's National Executive Meet in Bhubaneshwar

Bhubaneshwar, Apr 14 (IBNS) : BJP's two-day national executive meeting will begin in Bhubaneshwar on Saturday with all the tomorrow with almost all the party top guns, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi and party President Amit Shah joining the session, reports said.

While Shah already arrived on Friday, Modi is scheduled to arrive the Odisha capital on Saturday.

However, External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj is likely to skip the meet on health grounds.

The session is being seen as an event to chalk out the party's strategy to push its boundary to the eastern region, where Assam has already been annexed and Odisha and West Bengal still remain out of reach.

However, the party has gradually gained considerable strength in these two states over the recent years and is now looking for a big push to advance further in the next elections..

In Odisha, the BJP claimed the second position next to the Biju Janata Dal, winning about 300 seats in the local elections, pushing the Congress to  third spot.

In Bengal,  the BJP  won four seats, the party's best performance ever in the state, in the last year's Assembly elections and hugely increased its vote share in as many as 100 constituencies. In what could be an indication of its further advancement, the party claimed the number two position in the recently held Kanthi Dakshin Assembly bypoll, leaving the CPI(M) to  a distant third position. 

Though the ruling Trinamool Congress retained the seat with a huge margin, the BJP increased its vote share by 22 per cent in just one year.
