New Delhi/IBNS: Eyeing to keep up the pressure on the Opposition after BJP's massive victory in Haryana, the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) will hold a meeting of all chief ministers and deputy chief ministers from the coalition in Chandigarh on Thursday following Nayab Singh Saini oath ceremony as the chief minister of the state for the second time.

The meeting, which comes ahead of the Maharashtra and Jharkhand Assembly elections, will be chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Home Minister Amit Shah, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, and BJP President JP Nadda will attend the meeting among others.

The meeting's agenda is India's development and celebrating the Constitution and the "year of 50th anniversary of the attempt to murder democracy" - a reference to the Emergency - which is seen as being aimed squarely at the Congress and the opposition INDIA alliance.

The BJP alone has 13 chief ministers and 16 deputy chief ministers.

The ones in attendance will be the chief ministers of Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Sikkim, Nagaland and Meghalaya, who are from other NDA parties. A statement from the BJP said Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu and Nagaland Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio will also "lead discussions".

"Deliberations in this meeting will cover a structured agenda covering national development issues. It will also discuss subjects like the observance of Samvidhan Ka Amrut Mahotsav and the year of the 50th anniversary of the attempt to murder democracy," the statement said.

Both Saini's swearing-in ceremony and the meeting will be held on Valmiki Jayanti, the birth anniversary of Maharishi Valmiki, the author of the Ramayana.
