New Delhi: The BJP is likely to come out with its first list of Lok Sabha candidates on Thursday when the party`s top leadership discusses its candidates at a meeting of its Central Election Committee.
Senior party leaders LK Advani, Rajnath Singh, Narendra Modi, Arun Jaitley, Sushma Swaraj and Murli Manohar Joshi besides others will meet here to discuss and finalise the party`s list of candidates.
Sources said the party will discuss and finalise seats for smaller states like West Bengal, Kerala and some in Andhra Pradesh, besides those in the north eastern states where the party does not have a stronghold.
They said the party leadership will discuss the candidates for bigger and high-stake states in its next meeting slated in the first week of March.
