Ramvilas Paswan's LJP, Upendra Kushwaha's RLSP and Chandrababu Naidu's TDP - have already authorised Modi to take a decision on the presidential candidate, saying they would support it. Prime Minister Narendra Modi and party chief Amit Shah will attend the meeting.
Two days back, the Union Ministers Rajnath Singh and Venkaiah Naidu had meetings with Congress President Sonia Gandhi, CPI (M) General Secretary Sitaram Yechury and other opposition leaders separately as part of BJP's outreach to evolve a consensus on the presidential nominee.
This three-member committee was constituted by Shah last week and it comprised senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders Rajnath Singh, M. Venkaiah Naidu and Arun Jaitley.
Reports on Saturday said BJP has prepared four sets of nomination papers, leaving the space for the name of the candidate blank.
The BJP has also called a meeting of those MPs and MLAs who would propose and second the official candidate. The last date of filing nomination is 28th of this month. The nomination of the BJP Presidential candidate is likely to be filed by June 23, as Prime Minister Narendra Modi is leaving for the United States on June 24.
Golden State Warriors: Kevin Durant will be back
All signs, according to sources , point to Durant signing another one-plus-one pact, which carries a player-option at the end. Kevin Durant will become a free agent on July 1, but the star forward won't be available on the open market for very long.
Informed sources said Naidu briefed Shah about his discussions. Naidu also met Samajwadi Party's Ram Gopal Yadav and Naresh Agrawal.
The BJP is expected to win the Presidential election comfortably. He is the member of a group formed by Mr Shah to hold consultation with political parties on presidential elections.
The election for the next President of India is to be held on July 17 as President Pranab Mukherjee will demit the office on July 25.
"There is no question of consensus on the issue as BJP has not mentioned any name, instead they tried asking us the same".
