BJP president Amit Shah urged senior leaders at a meeting on Tuesday to do a proper evaluation of leaders of Opposition parties wanting to join the BJP.

Leaders of various parties have been flocking to the BJP recently. In the Rajya Sabha alone, four members of the Telugu Desam Party and one each of the Congress and the Samajwadi Party have joined the BJP.

BJP general secretary Anil Jain, who is the organisational in charge for Haryana, said the leaders discussed the strategy for the Assembly elections.

“We have been receiving many applications for party membership; therefore, he [Mr. Amit Shah] has recommended that every person who wants to join the BJP be evaluated properly,” a top leader said.

Those who attended the meeting included Union Minister Prakash Javadekar, who is the election in-charge for Delhi, which will go to the polls in February 2020, Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar, who is in charge of Haryana, which will go to the polls at year-end, general secretary Bhupender Yadav, who is in charge of Maharashtra, and vice-president Om Mathur, who is looking after Jharkhand. Both Maharashtra and Jharkhand will go to the polls at year-end.

BJP working president J.P. Nadda and general secretary (organisation) B.L. Santosh were also part of the deliberations.
