The two-day meeting - attended by top BJP leaders and chief ministers of states ruled by the party - started in Hyderabad on Saturday.
"PM Modi said that Hyderabad is Bhagyanagar, which is significant for all of us. Sardar Patel kept the foundation of a unified India and now it's the BJP's responsibility to carry it further," BJP MP Ravi Shankar Pradad was quoted as saying by ANI.
The comments came amid remarks from other BJP leaders on Hyderabad. "Since ancient times, the land of Maa Bhagyalaxmi has been called Bhagyanagar. The fate of Bhagyanagar is about to change, to improve. Telangana is calling for BJP," BJP leader Dinesh Sharma said on Sunday.
