In a bid to increase its outreach to the grassroots, the party is running several programmes like Praja Gosha BJP Bharosa and Praja Sangram yatra which are being well received by the public, as per a source.

The party is deliberating on how to strengthen it at the booth level. According to the sources, a state presidential election will be held soon as the BJP president Sanjay Bandi's term is going to end in the first week of March.

But speculations are rife that his term would be extended and a decision to this effect could be taken in the meeting.
