BJP’s ‘lunch pe charcha’ for BMC elections
- by Webdesk
- 09 Jan 2016
BJP’s Mumbai city party leaders gathered for lunch at the house of minister Vidya Thakur, where the issue of individually contesting the BMC polls was apparently discussed
On Thursday, some 15 top party leaders of North Indian origin had lunch at Vidya Thakur’s house which was organized by her husband and senior BJP leader Jai Prakash Thakur. There were discussions held about how to garner more North Indian votes for the BJP and other strategy about the forthcoming BMC elections.
R U Singh, senior BJP leader from the north Indian community confirmed that there was a lunch held at Thakur’s official bungalow, but claimed that it was non-political and a late Diwali lunch. “It was a Diwali lunch held for some north Indian leaders. It was not a political discussion, however, the topic on what will happen in the BMC election if we go solo, as we had in the Assembly polls, how will we mobilise north Indian votes, casually came up.
But all this was just part of an informal discussion, nothing serious,” said Singh. Ashish Shelar, the BJP city chief was present for the lunch too.
