Gujarat CM to attend BJP CMs conclave in New Delhi

Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi will attend a two-day conclave of BJP Chief Ministers on May 9 and 10 in New Delhi.

BJP is going to hold this conclave to take stock of welfare schemes in states, discuss good governance, and to suggest implementation of the successful schemes in other states.

Since Nitin Gadkari took over as party president, BJP has made this conference of its chief ministers an annual affair.

Two important and successful legislations- passed by NDA-ruled Bihar and the BJP government in Madhya Pradesh- on Loksewa Guarantee Scheme and Special courts scheme- will be discussed with chief ministers of other states. Other things on the agenda are effective use of Information-Communication-Technology (ICT) for greater transparency and accountability in governance.

At the end of the deliberations, the conclave will be adopting a Charter of Commitments which will set the roadmap for the future course of action. Out of the box ideas will be welcomed during the conclave. A series of portfolio-wise meetings of the ministers will also be held.

While Gadkari will inaugurate the conclave, BJP Parliamentary Party chief L K Advani will deliver the valedictory address.

Other senior leaders who will address the meeting are Leader of the Opposition in Lok Sabha Sushma Swaraj, her counterpart in Rajya Sabha Arun Jaitley, PAC Chairperson Murli Manohar Joshi and former party president Rajnath Singh.

Chief ministers of Gujarat, Himachal Pradesh, Karnataka, Uttarakhand, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Deputy Chief Minister of Bihar and a senior minister from Punjab will be attending the conclave.
