New Delhi: A day-long conclave of the NDA chief ministers and deputy CMs began here on Sunday, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his senior Cabinet colleagues attending the event.
Operation Sindoor, caste enumeration, the first anniversary of the Modi government in its third term and good governance issues are on the agenda of the meeting, said the BJP, which is organising the programme.
The meeting will pass a resolution to congratulate the armed forces and PM Modi for the success of Operation Sindoor and another to laud the Central government for its decision to conduct caste enumeration in the next census, said Vinay Sahasrabuddhe, the in-charge of the BJP’s good governance department.
Sources said all the Chief Ministers and Deputy Chief Ministers have been invited for the meeting. Nearly 20 chief ministers and 18 Deputy CMs from the states ruled by the BJP and its allies will attend the meeting besides PM Modi, Union ministers Rajnath Singh, Amit Shah and JP Nadda, who is also the BJP president.
Several ministers, including Rajasthan Deputy CM Prem Chand Bairwa, Haryana CM Nayab Singh Saini, Uttar Pradesh Deputy CM Keshav Prasad Maurya, Uttarakhand CM Pushkar Singh Dhami, and Goa CM Pramod Sawant, reached Delhi to participate in the meeting.
As per the report, the meeting has been organised to brief the leaders about the military operation and India’s broader security strategy. Two resolutions are also likely to be passed in the meeting.
“A meeting has been convened to brief the leaders about India’s strike on terror camps in Pakistan. Operation Sindoor and understanding on cessation of hostilities,” a source familiar with the matter told ANI. “This will give a strong message in terms of national security,” sources added.
Caste enumeration may also figure in a day-long conclave of NDA chief ministers and deputy CMs in Delhi on Sunday. The leaders will also deliberate on forthcoming events like the first anniversary of the Modi government in its third term, a decade of International Yoga Day, and the 50th anniversary of Emergency.
