BJP's Sankalp to Siddhi campaign to begin this week
Nagpur: BJP's state working president Ravindra Chavan on Tuesday held meetings with Vidarbha-based party officials as part of their nationwide campaign "Sankalp Se Siddhi" which begins this week. This campaign will cover events ranging from environment day to yoga day to marking the anniversary of the Emergency imposed during Indira Gandhi's regime. Addressing the media in Nagpur, Chavan said, "Under the leadership of PM Narendra Modi, India has grown from strength to strength. We have now become the fourth largest economy of the world and will soon rise higher. As part of our campaign, we will be organizing multiple events to ensure that this message reaches a wider audience." "We have around 80 organizational districts in the entire state. Of this, 19 organizational districts are based in Vidarbha. Today's workshop was held specifically for office bearers of these Vidarbha-based organizational districts," Chavan added. The party also has various cells, representing different sections of the society as well as communities. Even office bearers from these cells were part of the workshop held on Tuesday. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Conheça o Alarme com Sirene que afasta os Ladrões com 40% Off Verisure Saiba Mais Undo Regarding the anniversary of the Emergency, Chavan said that it was a Black Day for the country. "We must ensure that nobody forgets what happened. PM Narendra Modi has always honoured those who raised their voice against the Emergency and upheld democratic values," Chavan said. The slew of events which the party has planned, will be keeping its members on their toes. This involvement of party cadres in various activities is seen by some as a strategy to keep the outfit in poll readiness. However, BJP leaders disagree saying the party organizes such campaigns to raise public related issues. "We have International Yoga Day coming up, then there's Environment Day. We are the only party which takes the initiative to involve the public in such issues," said a Nagpur-based party member.
