BJP begins Post Poll Planning, Modi to Meet Top Leadership Today

Ahmedabad: Confident of victory in the 2014 Lok Sabha elections with the exit polls giving the NDA a clear mandate, the Bharatiya Janata Party has now gone into a huddle to chalk out a post poll strategy. The BJP is also holding meetings to decide on who will be its Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi's successor as the Gujarat Chief Minister.

Modi will on Wednesday hold consultations with the top leadership of the BJP including party President Rajnath Singh and senior leaders Arun Jaitley and Nitin Gadkari. The real agenda for Modi is to figure out what should be the line of succession in Gujarat and what should be the contours of the government, which is likely to be formed under his leadership in Delhi after May 16.

There have been reports that Modi's close aide and Gujarat minister Anandiben Patel is likely to succeed Modi as the CM. Sources had on Tuesday also indicated that the new CM is likely to be sworn in before May 20.

In the run up to the meeting on Wednesday, Rajnath Singh and Gadkari had a long meeting at Singh's residence in Delhi discussing the party's future strategy. They also held confabulations with senior RSS leaders, sources said in Delhi. Gadkari had a meeting with Modi in Gandhinagar on Monday.

As part of the flurry of high-level meetings, Gadkari met party veteran LK Advani on Tuesday in Delhi and discussed with him the unfolding situation and the post-poll scenario. "As the BJP is the obvious front-runner to form the government, party leaders are meeting to strategise over likely scenarios which are expected to be thrown up on May 16 when the counting of votes take place," a party source said.

Sources said top party leaders have been meeting each other for the last couple of days. Rajnath Singh has met Sushma Swaraj while Modi held meetings with a number of leaders, including Singh, besides the Sangh leadership and Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Raman Singh. However, there have been a lot of concerns as to why Sushma Swaraj is not attending Wednesday's meeting.

The reason why Modi has called for this meeting is because he wants to gives the sense that he is ultimately not the kind of dictatorial leader that he is often accused to be, but is someone who believes in the policy of consensus.
