Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP president Amit Shah met with Chief Ministers of 13 BJP-ruled States and five Deputy Chief Ministers at the party headquarters in New Delhi on Sunday, to focus ostensibly on issues of good governance.
The meeting that stretched for more than four hours, right on the heels of a day-long meeting called by the NITI Aayog, saw all 13 CMs deliver presentations on specific agenda points.
Agenda note
While the party would be briefing the media only on Monday morning on the meet, sources in the party said that an agenda note had been circulated to the Chief Ministers in advance to provide a structure to the meet.
“There were 3-4 agenda points in the note on which presentations were being made. These included Centrally sponsored and State schemes and the problems in their implementation, and a couple of political issues too,” said the source.
Political issues included what feedback mechanism had been put in place by the State governments to gauge implementation or even the satisfaction level of people with welfare schemes.
Feedback mechanism
“Whether MLAs and Ministers went among the people in a structured regular way, how were issues of feedback being tackled etc. were some of the questions that have to be answered,” said the source.
Apart from Prime Minister Modi, Mr. Shah and the Chief Ministers, members of the BJP Parliamentary Board were present at the meeting.
