New Delhi [India], November 25 : Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) National President Jagat Prakash Nadda has convened a special dinner meeting to celebrate the National Democratic Alliance's (NDA) emphatic victory in the recently concluded Bihar Assembly elections.
The meeting is scheduled to be held on Wednesday, November 26, at Nadda's official residence in the national capital.
During the gathering, Nadda will felicitate all BJP leaders who played a key role in the Bihar elections. The meeting aims to acknowledge their contributions and strengthen organisational preparedness for upcoming assembly elections in West Bengal, Assam, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, and other states.
Leaders associated with the Bihar campaign will share their on-ground experiences and strategic insights, which are expected to be used in shaping future poll strategies.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, BJP General Secretary Vinod Tawde and several other senior party leaders who were actively involved in the Bihar poll effort are likely to be present during the meeting.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is also expected to attend the dinner, making it a significant gathering for the ruling alliance.
Meanwhile, the 2025 Bihar Assembly polls were considered as the litmus test for Nitish Kumar, who has managed to steer the politics of Bihar around him in every election over the past 20 years.
The 74-year-old Nitish Kumar has been Chief Minister since November 2005, with a brief nine-month gap in 2014-15.
