Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday asked people to take care of at least one poor family till the coronavirus crisis ends if they wish to show "true solidarity" with him amid a reported campaign to honour him.
"It has been brought to my knowledge that some people are running a campaign asking to stand for five minutes in the honour of Modi. In first glance, this looks like a mischief to drag Modi into a controversy. If at all you want to honour me, do it by taking care of at least one family till the coronavirus crisis ends. There is no greater honour for me than this,” he tweeted.
Earlier on BJP’s foundation day – April 6 – also, Modi urged his party colleagues and workers to help the needy and said the main mission of the party karaykartas should be to help the people at the time of cornona pandemic crisis.
The Prime Minister also asked BJP workers to specifically enlighten the people about the Aarogya Setu App and tasking them to ensure they get 40 more persons to download the App that is being used for contact tracing purposes.
BJP President JP Nadda, for his part, too has asked one crore active workers of the party to take care the food supply to five poor families each. For the past two weeks, BJP workers across the country are convening food supply camps.
