Uttar Pradesh BJP to launch string of events from PM Narendra Modi’s birthday

LUCKNOW: Stepping up its campaign blitz with UP assembly polls round the corner, the state BJP on Thursday decided to launch a 20-day ‘Sewa Aur Samarpan Abhiyan’ to mark PM Narendra Modi’s 20 years in politics from September 17, his 71st birthday.
The decision was taken at a party meeting presided over by UP BJP chief Swatantra Dev Singh in the presence BJP national vice-president and UP in-charge Radha Mohan Singh and state general secretary (organization) Sunil Bansal.
The party will organize health camps, blood donation camps, cleanliness and vaccination drives, besides environment protection campaigns across the state from September 17 till October 7.
It was also decided that the party will hold ‘chaupals’ in all 27,700 Shakti Kendras comprising 1.63 lakh booths on September 19 on completion of four-and-a-half years of the Yogi Adityanath government in the state. The decisions come a day after BJP central leadership constituted an eight-member team headed by Union education minister Dharmendra Pradhan for UP assembly elections due in the next few months.
“The aim is to take various decisions of the state government to the public,” said Singh. A day later, on September 20, all the MLAs will reach out to the people and tell them about the development works undertaken in their assembly seats.
This will be followed by a door-to-door campaign from September 26. On October 2, the birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi, cleanliness drives will be held at the division level.
The action plan was prepared after discussing in detail the upcoming organizational programmes and campaigns, including the campaign to be organized on the completion of four-and-a-half years of the BJP government in state.
Meanwhile, BJP national president J P Nadda will launch the Booth Vijay Abhiyan on September 11.
Along with this, the party will also complete the work of picking Panna Pramukhs from September 11 to September 20.
