The BJP core committee is scheduled to meet on Thursday at the state office under the chairmanship of the state president, with two in-charges and other committee members in attendance.

Meanwhile, BJP’s national organisation general secretary V. Satish and national general secretary B.L. Santosh are currently touring Odisha and will also participate in discussions regarding the Nuapada by-election. 

The meeting is expected to finalise the probable candidate and may also see discussions involving the state committee.

In a separate initiative, the BJP state office will host a training camp for tribal MLAs and MPs tomorrow. Chief Minister Mohan Majhi, along with all tribal representatives, is expected to participate. 

The camp, led by national leaders Santosh and Satish, will focus on skill development and constituency management. As part of the program, each MLA and MP will adopt 20 to 25 villages as ‘model villages’ under the party’s constituency development initiative.

Speaking to the media, Tomar said, “There will be a training camp for tribal MLAs and MPs tomorrow, so national leadership is touring the state. There will be a discussion on party candidature and organisational structure during the meeting. BJP will definitely win the Nuapada by-election.”
