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

The exercise is being looked at as a move to identify areas, which need greater focus on matter that impact people directly and 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 ministers at the Centre will attend the day-long meeting with chief ministers and deputy chief ministers, which sources 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 have received from the ministries.

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

Modi government's schemes in social and health sectors have also been short listed as key areas where every state government should deliver the maximum. Sources said successful roll out of the hiked minimum support price for foodgrains and the Ayushman Bharat 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.
