New Delhi: Home Minister and incumbent BJP chief Amit Shah today met chiefs and general secretaries of the BJP’s state units to finalise the details, including schedule, of its organisational polls that may lead to the election of his successor.

A party leader said it may take several months before the organisational polls are over, and Shah- now home minister in the Modi government- may continue as its president till then. Meanwhile, all eyes are on top BJP leaders and who will replace Shah as the president of India’s most powerful political party.
