The BJP is also looking at revamping party units in MP, Rajasthan, Bihar, Telangana, Karnataka, Andhra, Uttar Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Kerala.
The party is also expected to announce the name of the leader of the Opposition in Karnataka. Karnataka BJP chief Nalin Kateel has completed his term.
As for Madhya Pradesh, there is a buzz over Union Minister Pralhad Singh Patel being elevated as state unit head.

Incumbent BJP state chief V D Sharma is said to not have a good rapport with CM Shivraj Chauhan.
Telangana BJP president Bandi Sanjay Kumar may get a national role. The BJP brass also discussed the strategy to expand the National Democratic Alliance.
