Shah is expected to have lunch with members of the ruling BJP-led coalition cabinet, as well as meet his party's MLAs.

He is also slated to address various elected representatives of the BJP at a city hotel, before meeting local industrialists, hotel owners, chartered accountants, doctors and builders.

"He is in Goa to plan the strategy for the 2019 general elections. He will be seeking inputs from our MLAs and party leaders on how to plan for the poll," Tendulkar said.

On Sunday, Shah will inaugurate a party office in South Goa, before heading back to New Delhi.
