The Narendra Modi-led government is working for "making India" whereas the Congress is working for "breaking India," said the BJP president.

The BJP chief congratulated Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis for his action against activists who are under house arrest for their alleged links with Bhima Koregaon violence.

A slogan of "Ajey BJP" (Invincible BJP) was adopted at the meeting and Mr Shah told the leaders to work for the party's victory in the five states. A decision has been taken to give extra emphasis on the elections in Telangana, which is expected to go polls with Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh, said party sources

The meeting, which will be attended by the central leadership on Sunday, comes in the backdrop of signs of unrest among upper castes, a core support base of the BJP, farmers' protests and angst of the SC/ST community.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to address the meeting on Sunday. The BJP is focusing on highlighting the centre's steps for "social justice" and "economic successes" besides its schemes for the poor.

In a bid to reach out to the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes, the party has chosen the Ambedkar International Centre, as the venue of the meeting.

"There has been an attempt to create confusion regarding SC/ST issue, but that won't cause any impact on 2019 elections", Mr Shah told the office bearers, reported news agency ANI.

The party will have to do a balancing act after Thursday's "Bharat Bandh" as people of the upper castes have been protesting the government's decision to restore the stringent provisions of a law on atrocities against tribals, after the Supreme Court's order.

The National Register of Citizens will also come up for discussion at the national executive meet, said party sources.
