New Delhi, July 18: Representatives from a total of 38 political parties were in attendance as the meeting the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) led by the BJP got underway in the national capital on Tuesday evening. The meeting is being chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The NDA meet is being seen as a demonstration of the NDA's strength ahead of the next year's Lok Sabha Elections. PM Modi, who arrived at The Ashoke, the venue for the deliberations, shortly after 5 on Tuesday evening, was accorded a warm reception by BJP national president JP Nadda.
The meeting is part of the BJP's ongoing efforts to shore up the NDA and devise a joint strategy against the fledgling grand Opposition alliance, 'INDIA', with an eye on next year's Lok Sabha elections.
Ahead of the meeting of the NDA, Prime Minister Modi shared a tweet, expressing his delight at the NDA partners from across the country arriving in the national capital for the meeting.
Taking a dig at the Opposition alliance, PM Modi said the NDA was a "time-tested alliance", which was striving for the nation's progress.
PM Modi took to Twitter to post," It is a matter of immense joy that our valued NDA partners from across India will be attending the meeting in Delhi today. Ours is a time-tested alliance which seeks to further national progress and fulfil regional aspirations."
The NDA leaders, who arrived for the meeting, also posed for a group photograph before going into a huddle.
