Delhi BJP general secretary Rajesh Bhatia said elections for the posts of booth presidents will start in September, after which there will be mandal-level elections in the second week of October. District-level office bearers would be elected in November, and state president will be elected by December 15.

Senior leaders said party chief Manoj Tiwari is likely to get a second term. "The party constitution also allows a leader to serve two consecutive terms. Since party constitution allows it, Tiwari should be able to sail through," said a senior leader.

The central leadership has asked MLA ticket aspirants not to contest organisational polls.

Delhi BJP membership drive in-charge Kuljeet Chahal said 17 lakh new members were inducted into the party.
