PM Narendra Modi meets NDA leaders and BJP MPs

NEW DELHI: PM Modi on Monday asked NDA leaders to work towards creating an environment for holding simultaneous polls, a BJP ally said after a meeting of the ruling alliance.

The BJP-led NDA also passed a resolution hailing Modi for his speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos and the presence of heads of 10 Asean countries as chief guests at the R-Day parade, sources said.

On simultaneous polls, Modi said the leaders can start debating the matter and help create a positive atmosphere in its favour, a leader, who attended the meeting, said.


The NDA meeting was preceded by a meeting of the BJP Parliamentary Party executive in which Modi and party president Amit Shah stressed on the need for maximum presence of party MPs in Parliament to support the government agenda during the Session.
