Bhupendra Yadav, Ashwini Vaishnav are already at work
It is to be noted that BJP’s winning pair of election in-charges Bhupendra Yadav and Ashwani Vaishnav have started work in the Madhya Pradesh assembly elections in Maharashtra. Bhupendra Yadav spends most of his time in Maharashtra and is busy sharpening the party’s strategy. This time BJP is making different strategies for each assembly constituency according to caste and social equations. The BJP has strategized that NDA ally Shiv Sena (Shinde) and Ajit Pawar’s NCP candidates will share tickets with BJP candidates keeping in view the caste and social equations.
