By Spl Correspondent

NEW DELHI, Aug 21 - Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP national president Amit Shah met chief ministers and deputy chief ministers of BJP-ruled states here this evening to take stock of development and social welfare work being undertaken in the states.

Sources said 13 chief ministers along with six deputy chief ministers, including Assam Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal, besides a few cabinet ministers attended the meeting. This was Prime Minister�s third meeting with chief ministers of BJP-ruled states ever since he came to power in 2014.

The discussions in the meeting revolved around implementation of the Centre�s flagship schemes in the states and development works being done there. The BJP president�s blueprint of winning 350-plus seats in the 2019 general election also featured in the meeting.

Shah had asked party leaders to focus on about 120 winnable seats which the BJP lost in the 2014 elections so that the party can take its tally beyond 350 seats in the next Lok Sabha elections.
