00:22team.
00:23BJP's Nitin Nabeen who has also passed a resolution on Vande Matram and its protection as far as the attacks
00:33on the Congress have been heightened by the BJP.
00:37BJP resolution to honour the national song has of course been on the top of the agenda.
00:44Let me take this to my colleague Aishwarya Paliwal joining us on the phone.
00:47Prime Minister Narendra Modi has just arrived. We understand what was discussed between Nitin Nabeen and his team when it
00:54came to the youth outreach protection of Vande Matram.
00:57What's to ensue with this meeting between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Nitin Nabeen's team?
01:04Well, you know, this is a very crucial meeting that will now take place and we also saw how the
01:08first meeting of some new office bearers happened in the morning.
01:11A lot of discussions with regards to how the Bharti Vimta party will go forward.
01:15That is something that we are seeing being discussed throughout the day.
01:18And this also is a meeting where Prime Minister Modi will be meeting those who have joined the BJP recently.
01:25You know, this will be a very personal thing that the Prime Minister will do.
01:28We will see interactions, we will see smiles and we will also see the Prime Minister making sure that he
01:33tells everyone what is expected of them.
01:36You know, the Prime Minister, in fact, let me tell you, has been asking BJP to make sure that, you
01:41know, the leaders, in fact, have an outreach of sorts because that is something that a lot of surveys and
01:47internally also the BJP has been saying that
01:51that is something that is something which is required.
01:52The Gen Z needs to understand what the BJP is doing.
01:55So all those things will be done and this message will be coming in from none other than Prime Minister
02:00Narendra Modi.
02:02Oh, yes, absolutely.
02:04And this is crucial here because the agenda is very clear.
02:07When it comes to the BJP wanting to work with the youth, also generate initiatives when it comes to the
02:16outreach towards the youth.
02:19And even in the manner in which this team has been constructed, what is the new vision moving forward?
02:26Aishwarya, this meeting is very important because this is also inspiration coming from Prime Minister Narendra Modi as he lay
02:33the roadmap for how Nitin Nabeen's team will now work.
02:37Well, definitely, you know, we will see a roadmap being talked out, being talked about because that is what the
02:43BJP actually wants everyone to do.
02:45They want the new members also to, in fact, A, give fresh ideas, what is it that the BJP can
02:51do and also work with a lot of enthusiasm.
02:53The work, in fact, Aishwarya, let me tell you, is cut out for all those who have joined the BJP.
02:57The BJP at this moment is understanding that they do have a voter base of their own,
03:03but the need of PR is also to make sure that you get different voters into your fold.
03:08That also has been the focus of the BJP in the recent elections and crucial elections coming up.
03:14In the state of Uttar Pradesh, what is it that the new team can bring to the fore?
03:17What is it that the Prime Minister at the moment is thinking all these things will be discussed in this
03:21very crucial meeting?
03:22Oh, yes, absolutely.
03:23And Aishwarya, let's understand that there is special attention on UP Punjab laying the groundwork for the 29 Lok Sabha
03:29elections.
03:30And, of course, nationwide celebrations for Modi at 25, marking Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 25 years of public service.
03:39So, all of that, that will be discussed as part of this meeting.
03:45Right, you know, what needs to be done?
03:47Because it is 25 years of Prime Minister Modi in political life, you know, as the Chief Minister of Gujarat
03:53and now as the Prime Minister of our country.
03:55So, those are also things that we will see being very closely looked at.
03:59The idea would be to tell each and everyone, especially the younger generation,
04:04the work that the BJP has done over the last many years
04:07and also the work that Prime Minister Narendra Modi himself has done as a political person.
04:13So, all these things will be very keen.
04:14We looked at a roadmap of sorts.
04:17So, Suresha, that is something that we will see coming out from these very crucial meetings.
04:21Prime Minister Modi will personally be meeting each and every once.
04:23And this, you know, let me tell you, will also be something really good for those who have recently joined
04:28the BJP
04:28because this will be the first time they will be interacting with the Prime Minister.
04:32You know, Prime Minister will be asking them, you know, what work they think that they can do
04:39and will also be telling them the way to go about, you know,
04:42a sort of guidance will be coming in from the Prime Minister today.
04:45And all the focus has been on Nitin Nabeen's new team,
04:48especially when Smriti Rani has been appointed as the National General Secretary with charge of UP.
04:55Ram Madhav, Vasundra Rajeshindhya, Piyush Goyal,
04:58all present for this meeting including BL Santosh and important decisions to be taken.
05:06Well, you know, whether important decisions will be taken today or not,
05:09that is something that, you know, we will not be able to confirm at the moment
05:12because this meeting is actually the groundwork that is now being laid by Nitin Nabeen.
05:17He will make sure that everyone understands the task that they have in front of them.
05:22The state of Uttar Pradesh is very, very crucial for the BJP.
05:25But more crucial than Uttar Pradesh is the state of Punjab.
05:28From what we understand, we could actually see a tie-up happening
05:32between Prime Minister Modi, between the BJP and the Akhalis.
05:37And we could also see discussion taking place with regards to what needs to be done
05:42in the state of Uttar Pradesh because you will see a very aggressive Samad Vadi party
05:46also in the state of Uttar Pradesh.
05:49So how is it that these things can be tackled?
05:51This is something that we will see being long-time.
05:54Important to watch out for, Aishwarya,
05:56because fact also remains that BJP upping the ante against the Congress
06:02when it comes to the protection of the national song,
06:05the resolution that has been taken and the Congress that has been adamant
06:10that as far as the recitation of Vandi Matram is concerned,
06:15they will continue to stick to the first two stanzas,
06:18which has not just been heavily criticized by the BJP,
06:21but also to say that it is the Congress that is disrespecting our martyrs,
06:25that is disrespecting our freedom fighters.
06:27And they will take this message of what Vandi Matram truly means to every part of the country.
06:34So that, of course, happens to be a very important focus
06:37as far as this particular meeting is concerned.
06:40Prime Minister, having reached there at the BJP national headquarters,
06:44where he will be meeting with Nitin Nabeen's team.
06:47He has just arrived at the meeting.
06:48That is set to begin any time now.
06:51In fact, at the BJP headquarters, Nitin Nabeen, who received Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
06:57Now, this is the first meeting that is officially happening
07:00between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Nitin Nabeen's team.
07:04And a lot of tasks there to fulfill when it comes to not just special attention

07:22and the protection of the National Song
07:25as they continue to mount that attack against the Congress.
07:29But the outreach to the youth,

09:09the outreach to the youth,
09:11to Gen Z,
09:12to ensure that initiatives are taken on
09:14to connect with them.
09:15That is becoming a very important part
09:18of the BJP's focus.
09:23Well, definitely, you know,
09:24they have seen the kind of backlash,
09:26unfortunately,
09:27that the Bharatiya Junta party got
09:29when we did see all the youths
09:30out here in the streets
09:31in the national capital.
09:32And this is something that will actually impact
09:35the upcoming elections,
09:36especially in the state of Punjab
09:37and even in the state of Uttar Pradesh.
09:39So what needs to be done?
09:40The BJP has a solid vote bank,
09:43but they are also understanding
09:44the need of the art is to make sure
09:45that you also get other vote banks
09:48into your fold.
09:49So that will be the focus
09:50of this meeting.
09:51Prime Minister Modi, in fact,
09:52will also become,
