PM Narendra Modi chairs meeting of Council of Ministers

NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi conducted a meeting with the Union Council of Ministers on Monday at the Pragati Maidan Convention Centre.

This comes in the wake of a series of high-level meetings held by the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to deliberate on crucial matters like elections to five states later this year and the Lok Sabha polls next year.

The Prime Minister tweeted, “A fruitful meeting with the Council of Ministers, where we exchanged views on diverse policy related issues.”

The government is preparing agenda for the monsoon session of Parliament which is set to begin on July 20. The opposition is likely to raise the issue of UCC to corner the government. Prime Minister Narendra Modi held a meeting with Union Home Minister Amit Shah, BL Santosh and BJP national president JP Nadda last week. The BJP, for the first time, will hold region-wise meetings of the three zones- the eastern, northern and southern - on July 6, July 7, and July 8. The BJP is gearing up for assembly elections in Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, Telangana and Mizoram to be held later this year as well for the Lok Sabha elections. (Agencies)
