Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP president Amit Shah are attending the meeting.

November 9 is the last day to make nominations for the elections to the 230-member assembly.

In 2013, the BJP won 165 seats with 45.7% vote share while its nearest rival, the Congress, bagged 58 seats with a vote share of 37.1%.

BJP sources claim at least one-fourth of its candidates from 2013 will be dropped this time to cut personal anti-incumbency factor and to field new faces.
