‘Take PM’s achievements to people’

PATNA: BJP national president J P Nadda on Monday said the abrogation of Article 370 of the Constitution had fulfilled the long cherished desire of Shyama Prasad Mukherjee, the founder of Bharatiya Jan Sangh (later christened BJP).
“In fact, PM Modi has honoured the sacrifice made by Shyama Prasad Mukherjee by abrogating the Article 370,” Nadda said while addressing the Jan Samvad virtual rally of the rank and file of the BJP’s West Bengal unit on the birth anniversary of Mukherjee, who had gone to Kashmir and died in what came to be seen as under “mysterious circumstances”.
BJP’s national general secretary and its Bihar incharge Bhupender Yadav, state president Dr Sanjay Kumar Jaiswal, deputy CM Sushil Kumar Modi, former Union minister Radha Mohan Singh and Rajya Sabha member Gopal Narayan Singh, along with ministers Nand Kishore Yadav, Prem Kumar and Mangal Pandey, as well as party’s senior functionaries, also heard Nadda at party headquarters here. Dr Jaiswal also recalled the contributions of Mukherjee.
Later, the state BJP top brass also addressed three sessions of the meeting of representatives from 11 districts convened to discuss the organizational matters with a view to strengthening the organization ahead of the assembly elections.
Yadav stressed on taking the achievements made by PM Narendra Modi in the last one year to the people of the state, as “historic decisions” were taken during the period. He said people must be informed about the achievements, as only this would help them take benefit from the schemes. He also stressed on constituting the Saptrishi units at booth level and involve them in taking the PM’s message to the people of the state.
The deputy CM said 21 lakh migrant workers had come back to the state by trains during the lockdown period. The state government transferred Rs1,000 into the accounts of 20 lakh migrant workers, while 15,000 quarantine centres had been opened in the state. He said the opposition had become desperate and resorting to gimmicks and stunts to catch the attention of people.
