New Delhi, November 11

Home Minister Amit Shah will be in Varanasi on Friday for a brainstorming session with top state leaders, including Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, the two deputy chief ministers and state party president Swatantra Dev Singh.

Shah will also hold independent meetings with booth presidents and local leaders and take ‘feedback’ on party MLAs from the region.

Party leaders say all district presidents and district in-charges, the in-charges of all 403 assembly seats, regional presidents, and other senior functionaries will be in Varanasi for the mega meeting. The leaders will also discuss election strategies, including for women voters revolving around “safety, empowerment and improved law and order situation” in the state.

On Saturday, Shah will lay the foundation stone of a university in Azamgarh, a stronghold of opposition Samajwadi Party. The university has been a long pending demand of people from the region.

Sources, meanwhile, say that a meeting of BJP general secretaries to discuss the five Assembly elections is also expected next week.
