The two-day meeting has been called by party's state-unit president and Union minister Vijay Sampla.
Party's national vice president and Punjab incharge Prabhat Jha will also be among those present.
"To energise the party cadre for the upcoming assembly elections, state president Vijay Sampla has called series of meetings on 27 and 28 of August here," said a BJP leader.
The state office bearers, district president and general secretaries, presidents of Yuva, Mahila, SC & Kissan Morchas will brainstorm the election strategy for 117 seats tomorrow.
On August 28, MLAs and twenty three assembly constituency incharge along with presidents and general secretaries of their respective district will be quizzed by Jha about their strategy for the elections.

Meanwhile, BJP general secretary Kailash Vijayvargiya
also asserted that the SAD-BJP alliance will once again be voted to power in Punjab and that it would get an absolute majority in the Assembly polls.
Talking to mediapersons in Ambala, he said BJP would form the government in Uttar Pradesh, claiming that Samajwadi Party and BSP had been indulging in "internal infighting" while Congress had no "existence" there.
Vijayvargiya was in Ambala to attend a function organised by local MLA Aseem Goel on the occasion of completion of two years of Haryana Government.
Speaker of Haryana Assembly Kanwar Pal Gujjar, MP Rattan Lal Kataria, state minister Nayab Saini and others were present on the occasion.
