BJP parliamentary party meeting underway

A meeting of the BJP parliamentary party is underway at Parliament premises in the national capital on Tuesday. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is present at the meeting.

Earlier the parliamentary party meeting was scheduled for March 17 but was cancelled due to the death of Ram Swaroop Sharma, a party MP from Mandi in Himachal Pradesh.

A weekly BJP parliamentary party meeting was held on March 10, which took place after almost a year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
