Shah has formed 17 groups in preparation for the elections assigning key responsibilities to most of the senior party leaders. Union ministers Nirmala Sitharaman, Ravi Shankar Prasad, Piyush Goyal and Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi and former Madhya Pradesh chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan are the other members of the committee. Jaitley will also be a member of this committee.
If there is no tie-up, BJP will defeat ex-allies, says Shah: In a veiled warning to Shiv Sena, BJP president Amit Shah said on Sunday that if an alliance happened, the party will ensure victory for its allies, but if it did not, the party will thrash its former allies in the Lok Sabha polls. Shah’s statement came immediately after Maharashtra CM Fadnavis set a target of winning 40 of the 48 seats in the state. Shiv Sena said it was ready to take on whoever challenges it.
