BJP president Amit Shah has postponed his visit to Arunachal Pradesh due to start today and the party is likely to defer its national executive meeting scheduled for July 15-16 as it works to finalise a candidate for the Presidential election. Mr Shah is likely to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi and senior leaders to discuss president election.
Mr Shah’s presence in the capital is required as the BJP is likely to begin the process of finalising the name of its presidential nominee any time now, a party leader was quoted as saying by the Press Trust of India.
The election to the top constitutional post will be held on July 17. The last date for filing nomination is June 28. There could be a meeting of senior party leaders here, the leader told PTI, giving the reason for postponing Mr Shah’s Arunachal Pradesh trip.
