New Delhi, Nov 9 (IBNS) Prime Minister Narendra Modi will on Monday attend a meeting of the BJP's parliamentary board, the party's top-decision making group, convened to discuss the impact of the party's debacle in Bihar.

Results of the Bihar Assembly elections announced on Sunday  dealt a stunning blow to the BJP-led NDA as it settled for a mere 58 seats in the 243-member house, while the Nitish Kumar-led grand alliance comprising the JDU, RJD and the Congress swept to power with 178 seats securing two-thirds majority.
 
PM Modi personally led the campaign for the BJP which went aggressive to capture power.
 
The Bihar defeat will hamper PM Modi's push to pass economic reforms for which he needs to win most state elections in the next three years to gain full control of parliament. 
 
The government is in a minority in Rajya Sabha which is selected by state assemblies.
