Bharatiya Janata Party chief Amit Shah arrived here today on a one day Kerala visit to gear up the party for the 2019 general elections.He will attend a meeting of the party’s state core committee, address leaders from select districts, and inaugurate a convention of party workers of 6 parliamentary constituencies of southern Kerala, BJP sources said.
Shah is also likely to meet some prominent people of the state as part of his ‘contact for support’ initiative to inform them about the achievements of the Modi government, and also hold discussions with leaders from Lakshadweep.It is, however, unclear if a decision would be taken about the new Kerala BJP chief during Shah’s visit. The position is vacant for over one month after Kummanam Rajasekharan was appointed the Governor of Mizoram in May end.
