Surajkund (Haryana): The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will hold
its national executive meeting in Surajkund in Haryana today where it is
expected to formulate its strategy on the current political and
economic situation in the country. The event will be followed by a

During the three-day deliberations, the BJP is expected to focus on "misgovernance" by the Congress-led UPA government and highlight recent scams including the allocation of coal mines, 2G telecom spectrum and the 2010 Commonwealth Games, as pointed out by the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG).
The meeting will start with BJP president Nitin Gadkari's address. Apart from its top leaders, chief ministers and deputy chief ministers from NDA-ruled states, 300 delegates are also expected to attend the party National Executive, while 1,200 will attend the BJP National Council meet.
