Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP President JP Nadda were honored at the BJP Parliamentary Party meeting on Tuesday for the party’s recent electoral success in Uttar Pradesh, Manipur, Uttarakhand and Goa. BJP MPs also gave a standing ovation to Modi and Nadda in the meeting.
A touching moment during the Abhinandan was when the Prime Minister gestured to Nadda to garland him first. The electoral exploits – Yogi Adityanath becoming the first CM in 37 years to win consecutively in UP, a single victory in Manipur, a repeat government in Uttarakhand for the first time and a performance in Goa – were the party’s first major victories under Nadda’s leadership.
Addressing the gathering, the PM is said to have given a strong message to BJP MPs that “family politics” will not be allowed in the party and dynasty politics will be fought in other parties. “If anyone’s candidature is rejected, it is my responsibility,” news agency ANI quoted sources as saying on PM’s speech.
MPs present in the BJP parliamentary panel meeting also observed two-minute silence to condole the death of veteran singer Lata Mangeshkar. Tributes were also paid to Naveen Shekharappa, a fourth year medical student killed in shelling in war-torn Ukraine, and Harsh, a Bajrang Dal worker killed in Karnataka amid the hijab controversy.

The party on Monday appointed its top leaders, including Union ministers Amit Shah and Rajnath Singh, as central observers for government formation in four states.
The BJP Parliamentary Board, its highest decision-making body, appointed Amit Shah as central observer for Uttar Pradesh and party vice-president Raghubar Das as co-observer.
