The BJP would not have any alliance with any party and it hoped to emerge as a "deciding factor" in the upcoming polls, Shah said.

“The increasing petrol and diesel prices and sliding rupee against dollar are a cause of concern for both the BJP (Bharatiya Janata Party) and the government,” Shah said.

He wanted to know why the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) imposed early polls on the state when Lok Sabha and Assembly elections are slated to be held nine months later.  

Goa CM Parrikar is suffering from advanced pancreatic cancer. He  was admitted to the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) on Saturday for further treatment and examination.

Sources said that Parrikar also conveyed Amit Shah that he could not keep working due to his illness.

Lok Sabha elections 2019: He asked party workers to sweat for victory in the state elections which are scheduled later this year.

The BJP chief, while addressing the party’s national executive meet, claimed that the party would win in the 2019 Lok Sabha polls with a mandate bigger than 2014.

Shah was elected unopposed as the party president on January 24, 2016, for a second term which was supposed to end in January 2019.

During the meeting, the BJP is likely to highlight the Narendra Modi government's steps for 'social justice' and 'economic successes'.

Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje has been made member of the committee while BJP state chief Madan Lal Saini is the committee president.  

Taking a jibe at Rahul Gandhi for criticising Raman Singh over the purchase of smart phones for the Sanchar Kranti Scheme (SKY) in Chhattisgarh, Amit Shah said that it only exposed his ignorance.

While the state assembly polls are originally scheduled to be held simultaneously with the Lok Sabha polls, speculation has been rife that the ruling TRS may go for early assembly elections.

Lok Sabha elections 2019: During Amit Shah's day-long tour of the poll-bound state, a number of programmes have been planned.

During the programmes, he will address party leaders, workers and intellectuals.

"Overwhelming support for BJP and decline in Congress & JDS seats reflects the dissatisfaction among people of Karnataka against this unholy alliance," he said.

In a dig at the preceding UPA government, he said the economy was in a shambles when Prime Minister Narendra Modi took over but an unfazed NDA, the entire cabinet, “single-mindedly” focussed on putting India back on track.

“Dear Mr. Jaitley, I guess your boss refused to hold a Joint Parliamentary Committee on the GREAT RAFALE ROBBERY? Too much to hide, too scared to face the people, I suppose...,” Gandhi scion tweeted on Thursday.

Earlier on Wednesday, Jaitley had said that Gandhi had converted the Rafale issue into a non-serious debate.

Lok Sabha elections 2019: BJP, in the meeting, has decided that in the next eight months all the people who are benefited by the schemes of the government will be contacted.

The meeting assumes significance as it is being held just months ahead of Assembly elections in three states - Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan.
