All CMs and Dy CMs received PM's guidance as to how states will work on mission mode to attain PM's goal of a New India by 2022, said UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath after the meeting.

Ways to achieve the aim of doubling farmers' income by 2022 also discussed, he added.

This is Modi's third meeting with the chief ministers after the BJP swept to power in 2014, but the first such exercise since it formed a government in Bihar by joining hands with the JD(U).
