Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Saturday attended the BJP’s national office-bearers meeting here and interacted with the party leaders.

Shah reached the BJP headquarters here in the afternoon on the second and last day of the meeting. BJP chief J P Nadda was present at the meeting which is also being attended by all state unit chiefs of the party.

On Friday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed a closed-door meeting of the BJP’s national office-bearers as the party took stock of its organisational preparedness and chalked out upcoming programmes for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.

There was no official word on what Modi or Nadda said during the closed-door meeting but, sources said, the general message to the party leaders was to intensify their outreach around the government’s good works in the over three months left before the elections are announced.

The positive feedback about the ongoing Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra, a flagship central government programme aimed at ensuring saturation coverage of its numerous welfare schemes, was also talked about at the Friday meeting.

The BJP has asked its members to ensure that people in maximum numbers benefit from it.

The poll results, especially the BJP’s sweep of the three Hindi-speaking states of Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh, have boosted the party’s morale as it looks to retain power at the Centre for a third straight term.
