Dimapur, April 29 (EMN): Following the recent success of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) during the 13th Nagaland Legislative Assembly elections, major changes in the organisational set-up of the party are expected as part of strengthening it.

A press release from the party’s media cell stated that Ananta Mishra submitted reports about the party’s activities during the recently concluded elections in Nagaland.
The organisation’s central leaders reportedly were ‘satisfied’ with state unit’s performance.
As directed by the party’s high command, the state’s unit has decided to organise a training camp for legislators, and unit workers soon.
Mishra also met with former prime minister and the first BJP national president Atal Bihari Vajpayee and former national BJP president Murli Manohar Joshi.
Recalling the past, Murli Manohar Joshi reportedly said that in the old days in 1985, the entry of the BJP in the state faced stiff opposition.
He added that he managed to plant a ‘few activities with handful of workers and stayed four days in Kohima.’
“Today, the victory of BJP in the state speaks volume that the people of this region needs development through a national party like BJP,” the statement said, quoting Joshi.
