JP Nadda set to get extension as BJP chief

New Delhi: The national executive of the Bharatiya Janata Party will meet in New Delhi for two days on January 16-17 and is likely to endorse an extension in its national president JP Nadda's tenure, according to party sources on Tuesday.

The key organisational body of the party will deliberate on its strategy for the upcoming state assembly elections and take stock of its preparations for the 2024 Lok Sabha polls as well, sources said. BJP top brass, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi and senior leaders from across the country, are part of the national executive.

There is a strong possibility that Nadda, whose three-year term as the party president ends later this month, may get the extension as party chief in view of the coming elections, the party sources said. A resolution is also likely to be adopted at the meeting that will articulate the BJP's views on developments in the opposition camp.
