BJP insiders said that while Shah will take stock of the party activities, he would have an account of the government functioning as well.
The party, sources said, has decided to go to Lok Sabha polls, cashing in on image of Chief Minister, Jai Ram Thakur- who has a common appeal and is easily accessible to people.
In 2014 polls, the BJP had won all the four Lok Sabha seats in HP. The party’s agenda to retain all the seats this time us a challenge, even the party leaders have admitted.
