New Delhi [India], May 25 (ANI): Over 20 Chief Ministers and 18 Deputy Chief Ministers from various states convened in New Delhi on Sunday for the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) Chief Ministers’ conclave, held under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The meeting concluded with the adoption of two key resolutions: one applauding the armed forces for Operation Sindoor and another supporting the caste census initiative.
Union Minister and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) National President JP Nadda addressed a press conference following the meeting and stated that Operation Sindoor, launched in response to the April 22 Pahalgam terrorist attack, received widespread praise, with the bravery of the armed forces being highly commended.
“Today, our National Democratic Alliance’s CM conclave was held under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi. Our 20 CMs and 18 Deputy CMs were present in this meeting. Two resolutions were passed. The first resolution was on Operation Sindoor, which was carried out under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi, and the work of our army was highly praised. The bravery shown by the army was highly appreciated,” JP Nadda said during the press conference.
The resolution on the caste census was also passed at the conclave, with leaders applauding PM Modi’s decision to initiate the caste enumeration exercise. Nadda emphasized that the exercise was not driven by caste politics but aimed at uplifting marginalized communities.
“Today, a resolution was also passed in the meeting on the caste census. Everyone gave their consent and praised this decision of Prime Minister Modi. We have made it clear that we do not engage in caste politics, but want to bring the deprived, oppressed, and exploited—those who have been left out—into the mainstream. This is the need of society,” Nadda added.
The leaders also discussed the Chhattisgarh government’s development model and innovative initiatives. A presentation by Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai on the Bastar Olympics and Bastar Pandum captivated the attention of the Prime Minister and other participating Chief Ministers during the conclave. Chhattisgarh Deputy Chief Ministers Vijay Sharma and Arun Sao also participated in the session.
The day-long conclave, chaired by Prime Minister Modi, served as a brainstorming session on issues of good governance. Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Defence Minister Rajnath Singh were among the senior leaders present, contributing to the dialogue on effective governance and showcasing innovative state-level practices.
