Prime Minister Narendra Modi convened a meeting with chief ministers and deputy chief ministers of BJP-ruled states on Saturday to discuss various key issues. The "mukhyamantri parishad" meeting, conducted by the BJP, aims to review the implementation of central government schemes, share best governance practices, and enhance the delivery of welfare initiatives.
The two-day meeting, attended by top leaders including Union ministers Amit Shah and J P Nadda, as well as chief ministers Yogi Adityanath (Uttar Pradesh), Himanta Biswa Sarma (Assam), Bhajanlal Sharma (Rajasthan), and Mohan Charan Majhi (Odisha), provides a platform for the leaders to engage in deliberations and exchange ideas on effective governance and development.
Chief ministers of Madhya Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Arunachal Pradesh, Goa, Haryana, Manipur and Chhattisgarh were also part of the deliberations.
The leaders at times also take stock of the political situation.
The meeting comes in the wake of the presentation of the Union budget, with the opposition targeting the government for ignoring other states at the expense of Bihar and Andhra Pradesh.
It is also the first meeting following the Lok Sabha polls in which the BJP's performance was underwhelming as the party lost its majority in the Lok Sabha.
Party leaders, though, added that governance issues were at the centre of the discussions at the meeting.
The last such meeting was held in February.
