Make every Indian part of G20 presidency glory: PM

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, after casting his vote in Gujarat, rushed back to Delhi to hold a two-day strategy session for the next round of elections. A string of state elections are due in 2023, before the grand finale — the general elections in 2024 — in which the BJP will seek a third straight term in power at the Centre.

The other crucial agenda appears a “Sneh Milan campaign”, which the BJP is planning.
PM Modi was greeted with a thunderous applause when he arrived at the BJP headquarters in Delhi on Monday afternoon to address a meeting of national office-bearers.
PM Modi inaugurated a two-day high-level meeting with officer bearers at BJP headquarters in the national capital.
The meeting is underway at BJP headquarters. PM Modi, BJP national president JP Nadda, the party’s State presidents and general secretaries are among those present at the meeting. Nadda will preside over the two-day meeting of the office bearers.
National General secretaries Dushyant Gautam, Bhupender Yadav, Baijant Panda, Tarun Chugh, and CT Ravi are participating in the meeting. Along with them, UP BJP president BJP president Bhupender Chaudhary, Uttrakhand BJP president Mahendra Bhatt and other BJP state presidents are present at the meeting.
It is being told that in this meeting, the upcoming strategies of the party will be discussed.
BJP national president JP Nadda lauded the efforts made by the Narendra Modi-led government in ensuring India gets the G20 presidency for the period of an entire year.
Addressing his party colleagues, Prime Minister Narendra Modi highlighted what the G20 presidency meant for a country like India. He also instructed the party workers to focus on making this occasion glorious. “Make each and every Indian feel proud of this achievement and make them also a participant of this historic occasion,” sources said quoting Prime Minister Modi.
The sources further said that on the instructions of the Prime Minister, the party is likely to look at organising various events and programmes, with focus on public participation, to showcase India’s prowess both culturally as well as traditionally.
The first G20 Sherpa meeting under India’s presidency started in Rajasthan’s Udaipur on Sunday. This was the first of the 200 such meetings that will take place across 55 cities in India over the next one year.
On Monday evening, at Rashtrapati Bhavan, a meeting of all political party presidents has been convened by the government to brief them about India’s G20 presidency. Top political leaders and party presidents, including Mallikarjun Kharge of Congress, Trinamool Congress supremo Mamata Banerjee, DMK chief MK Stalin and Naveen Patnaik of the Biju Janata Dal will be present at the meeting.
India formally assumed the G20 presidency from Indonesia on December 1.
The G20 or Group of 20 is an intergovernmental forum of the world’s major developed and developing economies.
Last month, Indonesia handed over the G20 presidency to India in the presence of PM Modi at the Bali summit for the coming year.
