350 party workers are expected to attend.
The Bharatiya Janata Party's two-day national executive meeting, which is likely to endorse an extension of tenure for party national president JP Nadda and deliberate on its strategy for assembly and general elections, is started in the national capital with Prime Minister Narendra Modi joining a brainstorming session.
PM Modi arrived at the venue after a mega roadshow of about one kilometre -- from Patel Chowk to the NDMC head office in central Delhi. Enthused BJP workers and supporters lined the roads and greeted the PM by showering flower petals and chanting slogans, while he waved to his supporters throughout the roadshow from his car.
Huge cutouts of the Prime Minister were placed along the road, besides several posters highlighting various initiatives of the government, and also India's presidency of the G20. Stages had been erected at places. Folk artistes from several states performed on some of them, while others blared patriotic songs.
Ahead of the big event, Mr Nadda held a meeting with in-charges and co-in-charges from across the country.
JP Nadda will also inaugurate a grand exhibition, featuring several themes, at the New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) convention centre.
Accompanying the PM in the National Executive will be 35 Union Ministers, 12 Chief Ministers, and 37 regional heads.
350 party workers are expected to attend.
The first exhibition theme is "Sewa, Sangathan, aur Samarpan (Service, Organisation, and Dedication)".
The second theme -- "Vishwa Guru India" -- will feature India's contribution in the global fight against Covid, and the G20 presidency.
The third theme, "Good Governance first", will display steps taken to ensure better governance.
Other initiatives like empowering the deprived, inclusive and strong India, and conserving the age-old icons like building the Ram temple at Ayodhya, and the rise of Sanatan Dharma across the globe, are the other themes that will be showcased on the sidelines of the meeting.
Political and economic issues will also be discussed, and organisational issues in poll-bound states will be examined.
Mr Nadda's three-year term as the national president ends this month. He is likely to lead the party till the 2024 Lok Sabha elections are over.
