Bengaluru, May 24
Bharatiya Janata Party National President Nitin Nabin on Sunday chaired a series of key organisational meetings with senior party leaders in Bengaluru during his maiden official visit to Karnataka.
The high-level meetings were held at the BJP state headquarters, Jagannath Bhavan, where discussions focused on strengthening the party organisation, reviewing political strategies and assessing grassroots-level preparedness in the state.
Several senior central and state BJP leaders participated in the meeting, including Union Minister Pralhad Joshi, former Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa and Karnataka BJP President BY Vijayendra. Party MPs, MLAs, MLCs and members of the state core committee were also present during the deliberations.
BJP National President Nitin Nabin held a breakfast meeting with veteran party leader and former Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa at the latter's residence in Bengaluru on Sunday morning.
Earlier, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) National President Nitin Nabin arrived in Karnataka late Saturday night and was accorded a grand welcome by state BJP leaders, party workers and office bearers at Kempegowda International Airport in Bengaluru.
On his arrival, several senior leaders, including Karnataka BJP President BY Vijayendra and Chalavadi Narayanaswamy, were present at the airport to receive him.
Party workers welcomed the BJP national president with garlands and party flags, while supporters gathered in large numbers and celebrated his arrival enthusiastically.
Speaking on the occasion, Chalavadi Narayanaswamy said, "He is visiting every state. Like that, because of the elections, he could not be able to visit Karnataka earlier. So this is the first visit we have received him. And tomorrow he is going to attend the meeting of MLA, MLC and MPs. At the same time, the core committee meeting is also there in the evening. So that day after tomorrow, he will go."
During his visit, Nitin Nabin is scheduled to attend a meeting with MLAs, MLCs and MPs on Sunday. A core committee meeting of the state unit is also slated for the evening, party leaders said.
Meanwhile, BJP leaders said that Nitin Nabin will also embark on a two-day visit to Uttarakhand on May 29 and 30 as part of the party's intensified organisational outreach ahead of the 2027 Uttarakhand Assembly elections.
During the high-level visit, a comprehensive review of the functioning of both the state government and the party organisation will be conducted. Discussions will also focus closely on crafting an electoral strategy for lost assembly seats alongside strengthening grassroots booth-level management.

BJP is working hard in Karnataka, but they need to address local issues more seriously. Farmers, youth unemployment, and infrastructure still need attention. Meetings are good, but action speaks louder than words! 🇮🇳
This is a much-needed organisational push. BS Yeddyurappa's experience combined with fresh leadership can help BJP regain lost ground in Karnataka. Looking forward to seeing concrete results from these discussions.
Honestly, these high-level meetings often end up being photo ops. Hope this time they actually discuss real issues like water crisis in north Karnataka and road connectivity in coastal areas. Elections aren't won by just strategy meetings, you need to connect with people on the ground.
Nice to see party leadership taking interest in Karnataka. The welcome at the airport shows the enthusiasm of workers. But I wish they would also focus on urban issues like traffic and waste management in Bengaluru, not just politics all the time.
BJP needs to strengthen its grassroots network in Karnataka if they want to win back the state. These meetings at Jagannath Bhavan are important, but real work happens at the booth level. Hope the core committee meeting leads to some practical strategies.
Good that they are also planning for Uttarakhand elections
