BJP working to rid India of Cong, corruption: Shah
UPBEAT In Kurukshetra, BJP national president calls upon workers and leaders to struggle hard to help saffron party achieve its objective at the earliest
KURUKSHETRA: Enthused over the party’s landslide victory in Uttar Pradesh, BJP national president Amit Shah on Sunday said that making India free from the Congress, corruption and caste is the ultimate aim of his party.
He called upon BJP workers and leaders to work hard to help the party achieve its goal at the earliest.
Shah was addressing party workers on the concluding day of three-day state-level training camp of the BJP here in the presence of Haryana chief minister Manohar Lal Khattar.
Shah also encouraged BJP workers to work for the expansion of the party. “You should work with dedication for the expansion of the party from booth level to district and state levels,” he said.
“Party workers should also make people aware of the working of the government and counter the disinformation being spread by other parties,” he added. Speaking on the occasion, Khattar said the BJP government in Haryana was working to bring more transparency in the governance.
He also highlighted several welfare schemes launched by the state government and said most of these schemes have already been implemented on the ground.
On his way back to Delhi, Amit Shah visited the Krishan Dham Temple in Karnal. He also visited the residence of state cabinet minister Krishan Panwar to console him on the death of his son.
BJP MP SAINI STAYS AWAY FROM EVENT
Meanwhile, BJP’s Kurukshetra MP Raj Kumar Saini stayed away from the party programme attended by senior leaders, including Amit Shah.
Sources said though Saini was in Kurukshetra on Sunday, he neither visited the party’s training camp for workers nor the Virat Vyapari Sammelan held in the city. However, Saini could not be contacted for his comments as he kept his mobile phone switched off.
Sources close to Saini told HT that he was not invited to the two programmes and that’s why he decided to stay away from these.
“Though the party organised such big events in Kurukshetra, the local MP did not have any information about these. The BJP leadership did not give him any responsibility for these events,” the sources said.
Notably, Saini was the most vocal critic of the Khattar government’s decision to give reservation to the Jat community. Besides criticising the chief minister and other Jat leaders of his party, the BJP lawmaker had also organised a state-level rally last year to unite the non-Jats of the state against the Jats’ demand for quota.
