All senior MLAs, MPs, BJP state president Satish Poonia and Union ministers including Gajendra Singh Shekhawat have been supervising the preparations of the meetings at a luxury hotel in the Sun City since yesterday.
BJP President J P Nadda will also have specific sessions to direct the party leaders and workers to unite the OBC community people as the Jodhpur division is dominated by OBC and Ashok Gehlot himself represents this reservation group. In the last assembly polls-2018, out of 29 assembly seats in Jodhpur, Nagaur, Barmer and Jaisalmer districts, BJP had won only five seats.
The Modi Government has already given constitutional status to the OBC Commission and BJP’s OBC Morcha has got an important say in the party and in the central government for planning future poll strategy, according to Satish Poonia, state party president.
The BJP OBC Morcha National President K Laxman, who is also RS MP, Union Minister Bhupendra Yadav, and General Secretary Arun Singh will also address the OBC community leaders and members in two days of meeting on September 9 & 10.
