The Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) Jharkhand core group is poised to meet with BJP National President JP Nadda and Union Minister Amit Shah in Delhi, amid critical discussions concerning the upcoming state assembly elections. This meeting, scheduled for Tuesday, includes deliberations on candidate selection for all 81 assembly seats.

According to insiders, the BJP's strategic gathering is slated for tomorrow evening at the party's national headquarters, presided over by JP Nadda with Amit Shah in attendance.
