The nomination of Droupadi Murmu as the BJP-led NDA's Presidential nominee may also feature during the meeting, as the BJP can claim to have continuously been working towards empowering the downtrodden sections of the society.

The meeting will end with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's concluding remarks, where he will the set agenda for the party's activities in the coming weeks and months. With Maharashtra now in its kitty, the BJP has consolidated its position in the north-western region and has now set it eyes on the southern states, especially Telangana. This is the BJP's third meeting in South, after Bengaluru and Kozhikode, since the party come to power in 2014.
