Bharatiya Janata Party national president JP Nadda will be visiting Uttar Pradesh for four days from December 25 to 28 to take stock of the organisational preparedness for panchayat elections.
A decision regarding this was taken in the meeting of the party’s state office-bearers here on Wednesday. The meeting was presided over by BJP national vice-president and in-charge of the state, Radha Mohan Singh.
“The BJP national president will tour UP for four days from December 25 to 28. For the first two days he will stay in Lucknow while on the other two days he will tour other parts of the state,” Singh told reporters here.
He also said that the recently-elected presidents and in-charges of all the 18 mandals of the party would organise workshops in which party workers would be educated about the policies of the party and the pro-people schemes of the Central and state governments.
When asked whether all these activities in party were because of panchayat elections in the state slated for early 2021, Singh said BJP was the only political organisation of the country which worked all the 12 months.
“Other parties work only when elections are in sight but our activities go round the year,” he said.
Hitting out at the opposition, he said that they were using farmers to get political mileage. “This is a fact that the Narendra Modi government has worked for the welfare of the people, particularly farmers. This is the first government which has implemented recommendations of the Swaminathan Commission whose report was gathering dust since 2006. This is the only government which still pays 10 crore farmers Rs 6,000 every year,” Singh said.
