Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address members of the state legislature belonging to the Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP), Shiv Sena and Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) during his day-long visit to the city on Wednesday.
“The PM will address them on how to propagate Mahayuti’s message and how to interact with people and behave and conduct themselves in public,” a senior BJP leader told Hindustan Times.
The BJP is quite upset with the conduct of some legislators of the Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena and they will be given specific instructions regarding the upcoming local body polls, said BJP sources.
