BJP National Executive resolves to back Modi's 'New India by 2022' vision

Concedes teething troubles with GST rollout, recognizes need for govt to take steps to meet challenges of economic slowdown

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) National Executive on Monday unanimously passed a resolution to support Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of making a ‘New India’ by 2022, even as it conceded the teething troubles with the rollout of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) and recognised the need for the government to take steps to meet the challenges of economic slowdown.
 
In the run-up to the executive meeting, senior BJP leaders had said the meeting would pass a resolution on economic issues. However, the party eventually decided to pass one standalone resolution that addressed both political and economic issues.
