New Delhi: On Wednesday, 18 January 2023, a meeting of the Union Cabinet is scheduled to be held in Delhi.
The meeting was conducted two days after the Bharatiya Janata Party on Monday conducted its two-day National Executive meeting in Delhi which concluded on Tuesday with the extension of the party's national president JP Nadda till June 2024.
This has been the first major meeting of the party after the landslide victory in Gujarat.
While addressing a press conference, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said, "I am confident that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and (JP) Nadda-ji, the BJP will return in 2024 in Lok Sabha elections by an even bigger majority. Modi-ji will return to lead the country as the PM."
According to sources, the proposal for JP Nadda's extension was mooted by Union Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and was agreed upon unanimously by the members of the National Executive.
Earlier on Monday, PM Modi asked party workers to design more events like Kashi-Tamil Sangamam in future for strong cultural national unity, sources said.
Putting emphasis on programs that bind the nation together, PM Modi asked party workers to insist on organizing more programs like the Kashi-Tamil Sangam, so that all the states will share their culture, civilization and heritage with each other and the country will be united culturally.
Sources said that the attendees also discussed a nine-point political resolution moved by Union Law Minister Kiren Rijiju.
