On Monday evening, 11 March 2024, seeking to stay a step ahead in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, the BJP's Central Election Committee will hold a meeting at its headquarters in Delhi.

Candidates for some more Lok Sabha seats will be finalized at the meeting, according to party sources.

BJP's partners in the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) from Maharashtra, Odisha, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Haryana, and Bihar, will also attend the meeting, top sources informed.

The allies are likely to discuss seat-sharing with the party's top leadership as well.

On Sunday, four leaders from Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) and one from the Congress joined the BJP in the presence of the party's general secretary Tarun Chugh in New Delhi.

The four BRS turncoats were former MPs Godam Nagesh and Sitaram Naik, as well as former MLAs Saidhi Reddy and Jalagam Venkat Rao.

On March 2, the Bharatiya Janta Party released its first list of 195 candidates for the upcoming Lok Sabha polls starting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi who will seek his third straight term in the Lower House from Varanasi.

In 2019, the BJP-led National Democratic (NDA) won a total of 303 seats, leaving the grand-old party behind at 52 seats.

The Lok Sabha polls are expected to be held between April and May this year.
