NEW DELHI: The Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) on Monday sought details of issues from key ministries that PM Narendra Modi can take up with 15 BJP chief ministers on Tuesday.

The exercise is being seen as a move to identify areas which need greater focus and impact people directly and where significant progress can be made before the general election scheduled next year. Assembly elections of Rajasthan , Madhya Pradesh and Chhattishgarh are also scheduled later this year.

Modi, BJP president Amit Shah and top Union ministers will attend the day-long meeting with chief ministers and deputy chief ministers, which sources said would focus on taking stock of ongoing works in states ruled by the party. The top leadership could also suggest the roadmap based on the inputs they receive from the ministries.

Sources said some ministries have specified the measures and initiatives which need to get greater push from the states. Barring some sectors such as rail, road, and defence, performance of state governments can make or break most central schemes.

The Modi government’s schemes in social and health sectors have also been shortlisted as key areas where every state government should deliver the maximum. Sources said successful rollout of the hiked minimum support price for foodgrains and Ayushmaan Bharat health scheme across states have been identified as key areas as well.

The BJP-ruled states have so far done better in areas including Swachh Bharat, procurement of food grains, issuing soil health cards and road building. The agenda of good governance and running pro-poor policies has been a key feature of the chief ministers’ meetings, which have been taking place regularly since Modi took over as Prime Minister in 2014.
