NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday chaired a high-level meeting, which included top NDA leadership , including over 20 chief ministers and 18 deputy chief ministers, in New Delhi.
The day-long session served as a platform to discuss good governance , national security , and inclusive development , culminating in two key resolutions -- one applauding the armed forces for Operation Sindoor and another endorsing the caste census initiative.
Union home minister Amit Shah, defence minister Rajnath Singh, BJP chief JP Nadda, and several senior leaders participated in the meeting, which also marked the first anniversary of the Modi government's third term.
The gathering paid tribute to the victims of the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack and focused on state-level innovations, with multiple chief ministers presenting their flagship schemes.
Addressing a press conference after the meeting, JP Nadda, said: “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, and the bravery shown by the army was highly appreciated.”
“Today, a resolution was also passed in the meeting on the caste census. And everyone has given their consent to this, as well as praised this decision of (PM) Modi and congratulated him. We have made it clear that we do not do caste politics, but want to bring the deprived, oppressed and exploited, who have been left out, into the mainstream. This is the need of the society,” Nadda added.
Prime Minister Modi told the gathering that caste enumeration aligns with his government’s model of development aimed at integrating the marginalised and those left behind in every sector. He also noted that Operation Sindoor demonstrated the success of India’s indigenous defence capabilities, highlighting the precision and effectiveness of homegrown technology in confronting terrorism, reported news agency ANI.
The resolution on caste enumeration was proposed by Haryana CM Nayab Saini, while the one lauding Operation Sindoor was introduced by Rajasthan CM Bhajanlal Sharma and seconded by Maharashtra deputy CM and Shiv Sena leader Eknath Shinde.
The resolution stated that the operation, conducted in response to the April 22 terror attack , had "boosted the self-confidence of Indians" and gave "a befitting reply to terrorists and their sponsors."
A significant part of the conclave was devoted to best practices by NDA state governments. Among the highlights was Chhattisgarh chief minister Vishnu Deo Sai’s presentation on the Bastar Olympics and Bastar Pandum, which drew special praise from Prime Minister Modi. Chhattisgarh deputy chief ministers Vijay Sharma and Arun Sao were also in attendance.
BJP chief Nadda reiterated the alliance’s stance and said: "The ruling National Democratic Alliance does not believe in caste politics but caste enumeration will help those left behind in different fields to develop.”
