These are closed-door meetings.

Modi had on Monday highlighted as to how the BJP-led NDA has scripted an agenda of inclusivity and development in its over 25 years of existence.

He spoke about his government's various initiatives to lift the country's growth and to positively touch all sections of society.

In his address on Monday, he had panned the opposition bloc INDIA, saying it may have changed its name from the UPA but this can't wash off its sins of corruption and misgovernance.
