They discussed the BJP’s plans for the consecration ceremony at the Ram Temple in Ayodhya and other programmes associated with the event, sources in the party said.
They said Santhosh, Bansal, Tawde, Chugh and other BJP leaders are expected to attend a crucial meeting in Ayodhya on Wednesday on the Ram temple “Darshan programme”.
After the ‘Pran Pratishtha’ (consecration ceremony), it has to be ensured that people travelling to Ayodhya from different parts of the country and abroad for “darshan” do not face any inconvenience, the sources said.
For this, responsibilities will be given to state leaders of the party, a source said.
At the meeting, the sources said, Nadda also reviewed the BJP’s preparations for the 2024 Lok Sabha polls and discussed the party’s strategy for deciding names of candidates to be fielded in the elections.
After the meeting, Nadda left for a three-day visit to Assam and Arunachal Pradesh. He will review preparations in the two states for the Lok Sabha polls.
