Meeting of BJP begins at Union Home Minister Amit Shah's Delhi residence regarding Chhattisgarh polls

New Delhi [India], September 12 (ANI): A meeting of the Bharatiya Janata Party leaders (BJP) related to the Chhattisgarh Assembly elections, scheduled to be held later this year, began on Tuesday evening at Union Home Minister Amit Shah's residence here, sources said. 
Apart from the party's national president JP Nadda, Chhattisgarh BJP State Core Group leaders are also present during the meeting. 
As per sources, discussions will be held on the upcoming Assembly elections and picking the rest of the candidates before the party's Central Election Committe, which is scheduled for Wednesday.
BJP is leaving no stone unturned to unseat the Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel-led Congress government in the state. 
Last month, the party released its first list of 21 candidates in Chhattisgarh. 
The list for the 90-member Chhattisgarh assembly includes five women candidates — Laxmi Rajwade, Shakuntala Singh Porthe, Sarla Kosaria, Alka Chandrakar, and Geeta Ghasi Sahu.
In Chhattisgarh, 11 of the 21 seats for which candidates were declared are reserved for Scheduled Tribes (ST) and Scheduled Castes (SC), while the remaining 10 are for candidates from the general category. 
Besides this, the Aam Aadmi Party, earlier this month, also released its first list of ten candidates for the state Assembly elections. The ruling Congress is yet to announce the list of its candidates.  
Five states — Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Telangana and Mizoram — will go to the polls by the end of this year. (ANI)
