Satti said while state BJP in-charge Srikant Sharma and party national general secretary Ram Madhav will be present at the meeting as mentors and guides, former Chief Minister PK Dhumal and Union Health Minister JP Nadda will attend the meeting. Former Chief Minister Shanta Kumar will not be able to make it to the meeting due to ill health.
