The Bharatiya Janata Party celebrated its foundation day with a resolve to take the outfit to every household across the state to apprise people about the pro-poor and pro-farmer policies being run by the Modi government.
“The Jan Sangh was formed on the principle of cultural nationalism which does not bind anyone to any caste or religion. It believes in diversity in culture and the BJP wants this diversity to flourish where everyone has the freedom to air one's views,” state BJP president Dr laxmi Kant Bajpai said in Meerut on Wednesday.
He said that the BJP has evolved from a small sapling to a massive tree in the last 36 years and people from all caste and religion have given their valuable support. “We work with the sole ambition of making India stronger. Our motto is India first and we should live with this motto,” Bajpai told party workers.
The state chief also spoke in detail about the pro-farmer and pro-poor schemes launched by the Modi government. "There are many parties who have used dalits as vote bank. But it is only in the BJP rule that PM Narendra Modi launched exclusive schemes for dalit entrepreneurs. The BJP wants dalits to be job givers not job seekers," he said
All senior party leaders participated in the function held in all 1460 blocks across Uttar Pradesh. The leaders organised chaupal and educated workers about schemes Central schemes like Jan Dhan Yojana, Mudra banking etc to the people.
