Sahasrabuddhe, who oversees the party's 'good governance' exercise, noted that Modi also highlighted leveraging social media to maximize the reach of government schemes targeting various groups. Senior BJP leaders, including Union ministers Rajnath Singh, Amit Shah, and party national president J P Nadda, attended the governance-focused meeting.

Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan discussed the New Education Policy and the states' role in its implementation. Various states presented their signature schemes during the meeting.
