Reportedly, Shah told the party leaders that the BJP will conduct frequent surveys once in three or four months. These surveys will give a feel of the pulse from the ground which will help to alter the strategies accordingly. Extra focus will be given on 150 seats, mainly in states like West Bengal, Odisha, Assam, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Kerala and Telangana where the party is trying to emerge as a key electoral player. As per the sources, the ministers were assigned different states. Nadda and Sinha have been assigned West Bengal, while Ravi Shankar Prasad has been assigned Lok Sabha seats in Assam. Likewise, Dharmendra Pradhan has been assigned seats in Kerala while Piyush Goyal will be looking after seats in Tamil Nadu and Nirmala Sitharaman in Karnataka.
