Prime Minister Narendra Modi will meet chief ministers of BJP-ruled States and members of the party’s parliamentary board on Sunday. The CMs of 13 States and five deputy chief ministers will be in New Delhi for a meeting called by the Niti Aayog, but will make the necessary stopover at the party headquarters after that.

BJP president Amit Shah will also address the chief ministers, in the presence of senior Ministers Rajnath Singh, Sushma Swaraj, Venkaiah Naidu and Nitin Gadkari. BJP’s general secretary (organisation) Ram Lal will also be present.

Development agenda

According to senior party general secretary Bhupendra Yadav, Pime Minister Modi will ask the chief ministers to focus on the development agenda with an emphasis on the poor sections of the society.

A similar meeting was held in August last year in New Delhi, an exercise started by Mr. Shah to ensure that all party-run governments follow a common agenda and focus on implementation of Central schemes.
