The Chief Ministers and Deputy Chief Ministers of BJP-ruled States will meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi and party president Amit Shah here on Monday for a stock-taking exercise on governance issues. This is the third in a series of quarterly meetings organised by the BJP. The last meeting was held in April.

Besides the 13 Chief Ministers and six Deputy Chief Ministers, a few Cabinet ministers are also likely to attend the meeting, party sources said.

Flagship schemes

The discussions are expected to revolve around implementation of the Centre’s flagship schemes in the States and development works being done there, they said.

The meeting is being organised just days after Mr. Shah unfolded the blueprint for the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, which may also feature in the discussions.

Focus on elections

Mr. Shah had asked party leaders to focus on about 120 winnable seats which the party lost in the 2014 elections. The BJP is aiming to win more than 350 seat in 2019.

The Chief Ministers are likely to give presentations of schemes and models undertaken by their respective governments at the meeting.
