Calling senior leaders of the party to connect the youth with the polling booths for the 2022 assembly elections, Bharatiya Janata Party president Jagat Prakash Nadda virtually launched the booth campaign of Uttar Pradesh on Saturday.
Nadda addressed the booth workers at 27,700 Shakti Kendras of the state from New Delhi.
The BJP chief told party workers that Uttar Pradesh had broken all the records of development under the leadership of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and now it was the responsibility of the party organisation to take it forward and for this they had to make the youths reach the booths.
Exuding confidence that the BJP was sure to form the government with a thumping majority in Uttar Pradesh once again, Nadda said, "The power of our hardworking workers is invaluable. On the call of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the BJP workers have presented the example of human service and hard work. Till now we have won elections with the mantra of ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas’. We will win the next elections also on the strength of our work and the strength of our workers," he said.
“In so far as Uttar Pradesh is concerned, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath is the most popular leader here. The people of the state are satisfied with his work. The chief minister is very hard working and is always willing to serve the society. At the time of crisis he led from the front and provided relief to the people,” Nadda said.
The BJP president said that the coronavirus-free campaigns launched during both waves of COVID-19 by BJP workers were immensely successful.
“No one believed that BJP or its workers would come forward and carry out such work in making coronavirus-free booths. Our workers served humanity in the times of crisis and in difficult circumstances," he said.
Welcoming Nadda from the state party headquarters in Lucknow, BJP state chief Swatantra Dev Singh said that lakhs of party workers were attending Shakti Kendras to listen to the BJP national president.
“All these workers will make a strong booth by taking the development works of the BJP government to every house," he claimed.
The BJP has set up Shakti Kendras by attaching four to five polling booths. The party estimates that around 15 lakh workers were present at these Shakti Kendras during the programme. The campaign will continue till September 20.
Senior party leaders also attended the virtual programme from different places, including Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and his deputy Keshav Prasad Maurya at Prayagraj and Deputy Chief Minister Dinesh Sharma at Ghaziabad.
