By LokMarg 16th January 2023

Prime Minister Narendra Modi held a grand roadshow in Delhi on Monday.

Starting from Patel Chowk, the roadshow headed towards Parliament Street in the national capital. The mega roadshow was held in the backdrop of the two-day national executive meeting of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) being held at NDMC Convention Centre here starting today.
People and BJP workers thronged both sides of the roads to greet PM Modi. People showered flower petals on Prime Minister’s cavalcade. PM received a grand welcome from BJP workers at NDMC Convention Centre after the roadshow.

BJP national president JP Nadda along with Union Ministers including Home Minister Amit Shah, Chief Ministers of BJP-ruled States and other senior party leaders will attend the meeting.

Before the national executive, a meeting of the party’s national office bearers, state unit presidents and various organisational secretaries was held at the BJP headquarters.
