Union ministers Narendra Singh Tomar, PP Chaudhury, Jitendra Singh and Nirmala Sitharaman were also present at the meet. While Jaitley is in charge of the election in Gujarat, the other ministers are co-in charge of the polls.

BJP’s general secretary in charge of organisation Ram Lal and general secretary Bhupinder Yadav were also present at the meeting at Shah’s residence to fine tune the BJP strategy.
