Modi, Shah to meet BJP CMs and deputy chief ministers

Last Updated 18 August 2017, 21:24 IST

BJP chief Amit Shah has convened a meeting of party chief ministers and deputy chief ministers on Monday to get feedback on the preparation of  ‘Vision 2022’, which Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been stressing on to realise what he had termed New India.

Modi will also address the gathering of the party’s 13 chief ministers and four deputy chief ministers, sources said.

The session has assumed importance due to the fact that the BJP has already got into the 2019 election mode and has assigned a managerial task to Union ministers and senior party leaders to curate 120
Lok Sabha seats it had never won.

Shah has fixed a target of 350 seats to win in the next polls even though internal party surveys suggest that the party as of now will get 300 seats.

Modi and Shah are keen to shake up chief ministers and their deputies from the complacency that successive victories in state elections resulted in.

At the meeting, Shah is expected to share a “piece of his mind” on the need to monitor and aggressively push government’s welfare schemes such as Ujwala, Swachh Bharat, electricity for all, crop insurance as it is keen to penetrate in to rural electoral landscape to maximise NDA government’s focus on empowerment of the poor.
