The Bharatiya Janata Party on Tuesday (May 21, 2024) evening held a closed door meeting of its office bearers at a private hotel here to review its performance in elections held for the Puducherry Parliamentary constituency during first phase of Lok Sabha polls on April 19.
The review meeting, according to an office bearer, was delayed as the BJP in-charge for the UT Nirmal Kumar Surana was busy overseeing party’s election work in Maharashtra.
The leaders are of the firm view that the party would be able to wrest the lone seat from the Congress with a thumping margin. Senior leaders who spoke at the meeting thanked its alliance partner, All India N.R. Congress, for extending full support for BJP candidate Mr Namassivayam during the campaign.
