3 senior BJP leaders to meet Modi today

As part of the flurry of high-level meetings, Gadkari met party veteran L K Advani yesterday in Delhi and discussed with him the unfolding situation and the post-poll scenario.  

“As BJP is the obvious front-runner to form the government, party leaders are meeting to strategise over likely scenarios which are expected to be thrown up on May 16 when the counting of votes take place,” a party source said.  

Sources said top party leaders have been meeting each other for the last couple of days.

Rajnath Singh has met Sushma Swaraj while Modi held meetings with a number of leaders, including Singh, besides the Sangh leadership and Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Raman Singh.

Earlier, Modi and Rajnath Singh had separately met top RSS leaders.

There is speculation in party circles over the future role of Rajnath Singh—whether he will remain BJP chief or join the government if NDA forms the ministry.
