Addressing the media after the meeting, Ravi said, "We discussed the political situation today. After winning polls in four states, the atmosphere is in favour of BJP. Congress is scared because of this. A self-confidence was presented in the meeting that if we work on the ground level, we can win more than 150 seats. Amit Shah has instructed us to prepare a roadmap for one year."</p>

The BJP general secretary also informed that the party will finalise the names of the leaders willing to join the BJP, only after getting instructions from the party president.</p>

"We will work on the ground and also we will finalise the people after getting the instructions from the party president, who are ready to join the party from the other parties," he said.</p>

"We are ready for the elections. There were no discussions on the cabinet expansion. Change of leadership was also not discussed. No such question arises," Ravi said.</p>

On the talks doing the round regarding the possible change of guard for Chief Minister, another source said that there will not be a change of Chief Minister under any pressure.</p>
