Bhopal: The Bharatiya Janata Party is in the process of deciding on a second list of candidates for the upcoming assembly election, following the announcement of the first list of 39 contestants a few days ago. The party leaders are now considering the constituencies that the BJP lost in the 2018 assembly election, as well as those that elected BJP legislators.
On Saturday and Sunday, Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, Union ministers Bhupendra Yadav and Narendra Singh Tomar, and the state unit president VD Sharma discussed the potential names for the second list of candidates. Sources say that these four leaders considered the names that emerged from the surveys conducted by Chouhan and the party organisation, as well as the feedback that the party received from different districts.
The BJP's central leadership has also conducted a survey on each constituency. This will be compared to the survey conducted by the state unit before the names of candidates are declared. The organisation plans to announce the names of those potential candidates that may cause controversy at a later stage. Meanwhile, the candidates for constituencies that the BJP won could be announced after the election dates are announced.
Overall, the process of selecting the second list of candidates is underway, and the BJP is taking all factors into consideration before the final list is drawn up.
