Sources said Shah held back-to-back meetings with his party leaders at his residence in Thaltej, Ahmedabad. Gujarat BJP chief Jitu Vaghani, party in-charge in Gujarat Bhupendra Yadav, Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs Pradipsinh Jadeja were among those who attended the meeting. A senior BJP leader said, “The meetings purely focused on the Rajya Sabha polls. Our third candidate, Rajput, needs 14 more preferential votes, in addition to what he will get from BJP MLAs. Moreover, it cannot be predicted how four MLAs of other parties — two of NCP, one of GPP and one JD(U) — will vote.
