In the resolution, Rijiju highlighted several instances accusing the opposition parties of running a negative campaign against the party and Prime Minister Narendra Modi. 

Addressing a press conference at NDMC Convention Centre here, Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said that various topics were discussed during the meeting today which included the discussion on the Opposition's derogatory remarks on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, G20, and Assembly elections.

"Today a briefing has been held on how the activities of the 4 states are progressing which include Tripura, Nagaland, Meghalaya, and Karnataka," she said.

"There have been detailed discussions over 9 points introduced in the resolution for this year's NEC. The first discussion was on how opposition parties are using abusive language for attacking PM Modi ji," Sitharaman added. 

She accused the Opposition of continuously running negative campaigns against BJP and PM Modi, saying that the Supreme Court "crushed" their campaigns and "exposed them".

"Opposition continuously ran negative campaigns against BJP and used abusive language to attack PM on many issues like Pegasus, Rafael deal, Enforcement Directorate money laundering, Central Vista, Economic basis-reservations, Demonetization. All these cases were fought in court and judgement has been in favour of the central govt. SC crushed Opposition's negative campaigns and exposed them through legal responses," the Finance Minister said, ANI reported.

During the meeting, BJP national chief JP Nadda asserted the party has to win all nine state elections this year and then general elections in 2024.
