BJP meet in December

In December 2023, the party supremo, JP Naada convened a two-day meeting of BJP’s national office-bearers and chalked out the party's agenda and upcoming programmes. He chaired the meeting wherein the BJP's various 'morcha' (wings) laid down their organisational exercises.

The meeting also discussed the further operation of Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra, a nationwide campaign launched by the government to popularise and raise awareness about the welfare schemes of the central government. The party leaders have been advised to intensify their outreach around the government's "good works."

According to the sources, in the high-profile meet, the party’s national office bearers were motivated to work in "mission mode" by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Here’s what PM Modi told BJP’s top brass leaders:

With the 2024 Lok Sabha polls barely months away, the saffron party has been constantly reviewing its preparedness with BJP chief taking stock of readiness on the ground level and Prime Minister Modi aiming to boost the party's seat share in Lok Sabha polls.

Speaking at the BJP meeting last Friday (December 29), PM Modi said, "We won 303 seats in 2019 and will win more seats in 2024 if we work on a mission mode.”

He also advised the party's top brass to "express views aggressively on social media" and "give positive answers to Opposition's negative propaganda with facts."
