In a bid to motivate the party leaders now elected as heads of the cooperatives, the ruling Baharatiya Janata Party felicitated the chairman of cooperative banks Dan Singh Bhandari and some others related to the cooperatives at the state party headquarters on Friday in the presence of the state BJP chief Ajay Bhatt.
While congratulating them on being elected to the important posts in the cooperatives, Bhatt said that the competent workers are assets of the party. “It is a matter of great satisfaction that the party workers entrusted with works in the government are doing well. This is why the party-helmed government is doing great works in tune with the expectations of the people who have given us a massive mandate,” he said.
He also heaped praise on the Chief Minister Trivendra Singh Rawat for ably leading the state.
Talking about the importance of the cooperatives, he said that a tremendous potential for public welfare works is lying in the cooperatives. While appreciating the works of the state cooperative minister Dhan Singh Rawat, Bhatt said that since he assumed charge of the ministry the cooperative sector is doing wonders in terms of motivation.
In his address, Dhan Singh Rawat said that earlier, the cooperative department was being considered as an insignificant one.
“But we are proving that the cooperatives if rightly used can be instrumental in transforming the life of the people. CM stressing on stopping migration from the villages, we are seeing to it that the cooperatives provide ample job opportunities to the villagers,” he said.
While speaking of the works being done by the BJP leaders in government works, he said that they are charged with a nationalist vision. He hoped that the party would win the upcoming cooperative elections.
The state BJP organising general secretary Naresh Bansal said that works in the cooperatives amount to service to the nation and the society. Those who were felicitated on the occasion included the cooperative bank chairman Dan Singh Bhandari, milk federation chairman (Udham Singh Nagar) Tilak Raj Gambhir, Kunwar Singh Gusein (almora), Naveen Tadagi ( Champawat), Bhawana Bhatt (Pithoragarh) and Harendra Singh Negi (Srinagar).
