He has also given an assignment of strenthaning structure to such an extent that the BJP would win 35 out of 40 Lok Sabha seats of Bihar.
Sources said that the PM also discussed the probable alliance partners of the BJP, including Chirag Paswan, Mukesh Sahani, Pasupati Kumar Paras and Upendra Kushwaha.
With Chaudhary's appointment as BJP state president, the party's top leadership has given clear indication that it will not ally with Nitish Kumar in Bihar.
