The BJP state executive committee is scheduled to hold its meeting at the Palace Grounds here on Friday to discuss among other issues the current political situation in Karnataka and preparations to be made for the 2019 parliamentary elections.

The state BJP, which emerged as the single-largest party in the elections, has been closely watching the political developments.

A section of the saffron party leaders are of the view that the JD(S)-Congress government will not last long due to the simmering differences between the coalition
partners.

The executive committee will be meeting for the first time after the assembly polls. The saffron party leaders are likely to chalk out a plan for strengthening the organisation as part of the preparations for the 2019 Lok Sabha elections.

The committee members will be briefed about the need to advertise the achievements of the Narendra Modi government.

State BJP president B S Yeddyurappa, BJP national general secretary in-charge of Karnataka Muralidhara Rao and union ministers from the state will attend the meeting.
