New Delhi: The strategy for the crucial Assembly elections in four states slated for next year and the 'Kelkar report on tax reforms' top the agenda of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) National executive beginning here on December 23.

"A strategy for the Assembly elections scheduled for next year would be discussed at the meeting where final touches would be given to the poll strategy in Himachal Pradesh, Tripura, Nagaland and Meghalaya which go to polls in February," party general secretary Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi told reporters on December 21.

"The Rajnath committee which finalised the report on 'Kelkar recommendations' would also be discussed in detail," he said after a meeting of the central office bearers to finalise the agenda.

The meeting, chaired by party president M Venkaiah Naidu approved the political resolution to be taken up at the Executive. The resolution would cover the prevailing political situation in the country in the wake of the party's spectacular victory in the recent Gujarat assembly elections.

Naqvi said a wide range of organisational matters including membership drive, zonal meetings and Naidu's 'go to village' programme would also figure prominently at the National Executive.

Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee will deliver the valedictory address at the National Executive, which will also be attended by Deputy Prime Minister L K Advani and several central ministers as also Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi.

Among those who attended the meeting were party vice president Harsh Vardhan and party general secretaries Rajnath Singh, Anita Arya and Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi and former party president Kushabhau Thakre.
