BJP Begins Prep For 2024 Election, Bharat Sankalp Yatra In Focus: Sources

Prime Minister Modi also gave his ministers instructions regarding the winter session of Parliament, which is to begin from December 4.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has directed union ministers to begin preparing for the 2024 Lok Sabha election, sources told NDTV Wednesday.

At a meeting late last night, the ministers were directed to participate in the Bharat Sankalp Yatra, a mega outreach campaign aimed at highlighting the centre's welfare schemes. Sources said the PM advised his cabinet colleagues to make grassroots connections with voters in their constituencies and "join the Yatra not as a VIP but as an organiser".

"The Bharat Sankalp Yatra is the last chance to reach out to the public and beneficiaries (of the centre's schemes)," the Prime Minister told his ministers and encouraged them to expand the reach of these welfare measures to all eligible people, and particularly those below the poverty line.
