Bhopal, Dec 27 (IANS): After securing a resounding victory in the Assembly election earlier this month, the Madhya Pradesh BJP leadership has sped up its preparations for the forthcoming Lok Sabha polls.

The state leadership has started holding meetings with different segments of the BJP’s organisation pertaining to the youth, women, and different morchas like – OBCs, STs and SCs.

The cadres are being prepared for the crucial 2024 poll battle for the Lok Sabha to ensure that the party retains power at the Centre.

The MP BJP unit was already in poll-mode for the last one year and won 163 out of 230 Assembly seats, even as preparations for Lok Sabha elections were also running parallel to it, claimed state BJP President VD Sharma.

Sharma, along with state incharge Sunil Bansal, held a series of meetings of district heads of the party, during which they were conveyed messages from the central leadership and assigned specific tasks.
