BJP Begins High-Level Strategy Meetings
The BJP’s preparations for the Assam assembly polls began much earlier than usual this time. The party headquarters at Atal Bihari Vajpayee Bhawan in Guwahati has been hosting continuous meetings over the past few days. District leaders, state office bearers, and organisational workers have been participating in discussions designed to strengthen the party’s groundwork.
BL Santhosh’s arrival has added momentum to this series of strategy sessions. As the party’s national-level organisational head, his visit carries significant importance. He held meetings soon after reaching the headquarters, interacting with state leaders to review performance, identify challenges, and align plans for the coming months.
Party insiders said that Santhosh focused on booth management, grassroots coordination, and strengthening communication channels. The BJP believes that a robust organisation at the booth level will be key to securing victories in competitive constituencies. His discussions included methods to streamline internal coordination and ensure that workers remain active across all districts.
Target of 103 Seats Sets Ambitious Tone
During the meetings, BL Santhosh reportedly set a target of 103 seats for the BJP in the Assam assembly polls. The target reflects the party’s confidence in its governance record and organisational structure. It also signals the party’s intention to expand its presence further across rural and urban pockets.
Setting such a high target has energised party workers, according to leaders present in the meeting. They said the goal provides a clear direction and motivates the organisation to intensify ground-level activities. State leaders believe that with early planning and strong coordination, it is possible to achieve the ambitious figure.
BJP’s strategy for the election includes strengthening alliances, improving outreach in sensitive regions, and expanding welfare communication. The party plans to highlight developmental works carried out in the past years along with infrastructure improvement, economic initiatives, and social welfare schemes.
Santhosh emphasised that the party must maintain a disciplined approach. He urged leaders to prioritise fieldwork, engage directly with communities, and focus on resolving local issues. He also highlighted the need for strong feedback systems to evaluate progress regularly.
Preparations Ahead of Santhosh’s Two-Day Visit
The two-day visit of BL Santhosh is being viewed as a significant organisational exercise. Before his arrival, the state BJP held several internal meetings to consolidate reports from district-level committees. These reports covered political dynamics, local leadership performance, and areas requiring attention.
Santhosh is expected to meet legislators, MPs, district presidents, and senior leaders during his stay. Each interaction aims to refine strategies and identify constituency-wise requirements. His visit will include discussions on election management, candidate selection guidelines, and coordination with alliance partners.
The BJP has also been assessing regions where the opposition has gained visibility. Strengthening the organisation in these areas has been listed as a priority. According to party leaders, Santhosh’s guidance on organisational discipline and planning will help streamline efforts.
Meanwhile, the state unit has been preparing communication materials that explain government achievements. These materials will be used by workers during door-to-door campaigns in the coming months. The party’s IT and social media teams have also begun planning digital outreach strategies designed to reach younger voters.
Political Climate Ahead of the Assam Assembly Polls
With the BJP starting its preparations early, the political climate in Assam is expected to heat up well before the official poll announcement. Other parties are likely to intensify their activities as pressure builds. The BJP, however, believes that its early start gives it a strong organisational advantage.
The party already has a wide network of workers and supporters across the state. With leaders like BL Santhosh guiding the process, the organisation is aiming for a more structured approach. The focus on booth-level strength, community outreach, and welfare communication forms the backbone of its election strategy.
Observers believe that the Assam assembly polls will be shaped by a mix of development, governance, identity issues, and local political alliances. With the BJP setting a target of 103 seats, competition is expected to be intense.
The arrival of BL Santhosh has marked a crucial phase in the BJP’s preparations for the Assam assembly polls. His two-day visit, combined with ongoing strategy meetings, is expected to guide the party’s direction in the coming months. With an ambitious target of 103 seats, the BJP aims to strengthen its organisational base and expand its political footprint across Assam. As the election approaches, the state’s political landscape is set for increased activity, heightened strategies, and competitive campaigning.
