Chief ministers and deputy chief ministers of BJP-ruled states will speak to the media on May 29 to highlight about various achievements of the Modi government in its nine years, they said. Union ministers will interact with the media in states where the party is not in power.

The party plans to contact 250 “eminent” families in every Lok Sabha seat. Other events include meetings with different segments of society, including intellectuals, social media influencers and traders, they said.

The BJP is gearing up for the Lok Sabha polls next year as it seeks Modi’s reelection as prime minister for a third straight term, a feat achieved by no leader other than first prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru.
