BJP's Ram Madhav holds strategy meetings

BJP national general secretary Ram Madhav on Friday arrived in Bengaluru and held a series of meetings with top Sangh functionaries, intellectuals and civil society members.

Madhav is one of BJP national president Amit Shah's lieutenants who has been deputed to the state for a grassroots assessment of the poll preparedness of the Karnataka unit of the party.

He also addressed party workers at Yelahanka Assembly constituency and did door-to-door campaign with local MLA S R Vishwanath. Madhav, who is the national general secretary in charge of Jammu and Kashmir and northeastern states, played a key role in finalising the party's electoral strategy in the states of Tripura, Nagaland and Meghalaya, which went to polls recently. He was also central to the BJP's Kashmir experiment which saw the party forming the government in alliance with PDP.
