Assembly polls in Telangana and Odisha will be held simultaneously with the general election.
With Mr. Modi known for dropping a number of incumbents in order to beat the anti-incumbency factor, the BJP is abuzz with speculation over the fate of the sitting MPs.
The party has sought feedback from a number of sources, including the public. It has also asked its MPs to furnish details of the works they had carried out.
