Kurukshetra, March 26

National BJP president Amit Shah today exhorted the party workers to take the policies of the party to masses. Shah was interacting with nearly 154 whole-time party workers at Punjabi dharamsala here on the concluding day of the three-day state-level training programme for the whole-time workers.

Shah was accompanied by Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar, national BJP general secretary and in charge, Haryana affairs, Anil Jain, state president Subhash Barala, state general secretary Vedpal and several ministers from the state. The media was not allowed inside the convention hall. Shah even left the venue without interacting with mediapersons.

However, party workers who attended the convention said Shah not only boosted the morale of the whole-time workers, but also asked them to reach out to the masses to spread the policies of the party.

“The BJP is observing the birth anniversary of Pt Deen Dayal Upadhaya as the year of National Work Expansion Scheme. Therefore, the workers would have to shoulder the responsibility to expand the base of the party at the grassroots level,” Shah told the workers.

He said that the main objective of the BJP was to eradicate corruption, casteism and regionalism and to make the country corruption, caste and Congress-free. He exhorted the party workers to contribute to achieve this target. “Expansion scheme is important and it could be successful with the utmost dedication of the party workers. They would have to dedicate themselves for the expansion of the party,” Shah said.

While addressing the workers, Khattar said that the government had been working on the principle of ‘Sabka Sath-Sabka Vikas’ for which around 120 welfare schemes had been launched across the state.

He said that new enterprises promotion policy had been framed to attract and promote business in the state. Advocate Vedpal said that the whole-time workers had decided to dedicate their precious time for the development of the party. Sources said that Kurukshetra MP Raj Kumar Saini was not present in the meeting today.
