Agenda against the Hemant Soren-led UPA government will also be decided in the meeting, as "corruption has increased manifold and law and order situation has deteriorated drastically", Prakash said.

Deoghar BJP president-cum-legislator Narayan Das said, "This Santhal region played a significant role whenever BJP formed government in the state. So, this meeting is important where strategies for 2024 elections—assembly as well as Lok Sabha —will also be discussed."

Senior BJP leader and Ranchi MLA CP Singh said, "We are holding the meeting in religious town (Deoghar) to seek good sense for current UPA government in Jharkhand so that it could work for the development and people of the state. The chief minister is busy with Khatiyani Johar Yatra, which is nothing but eyewash."
