Implement Central Schemes "In Letter And Spirit", BJP Chief Ministers Told

States have been asked to work in complete "samanway" or coordination with the Centre, and work together to achieve targets. The Centre's message of welfare and development should be uniformly reflected in the governance of the states, chief ministers have been told.

States have been asked to work in complete "samanway" or coordination with the Centre, and work together to achieve targets. The Centre's message of welfare and development should be uniformly reflected in the governance of the states, chief ministers have been told.

The meeting, seen as the first collective introspection exercise by the BJP after the Lok Sabha elections, saw participation from 13 chief ministers and 15 deputy chief ministers.
