To galvanise its workers at the ground level, the Uttar Pradesh unit of Bharatiya Janata Party will organise region-wise booth sammelans which will be addressed by party’s national president Amit Shah.
A decision in this regard was taken at a meeting of the BJP state office-bearers held in Lucknow on Wednesday.
BJP state president Mahendra Nath Pandey said that the party would organise region-wise booth presidents’ sammelan.
“On December 25, the birth anniversary of former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpyee will be celebrated at the booth level as Sushasan Diwas (good governance day),” Pandey said.
Senior leaders of the party, including in-charges of different morchas, regional chiefs and general secretaries would participate in the programme.
The BJP state chief said that besides, sector sammelan would be held at each division from December 20 to January 19, in which BJP national officer-bearers, Union ministers and Chief Ministers will take part.
“In February, the party will identify beneficiaries of both Central and state government schemes and light ‘jyoti’ (lamp) at their doorsteps and on February 26, Kamal Jyoti Vikas Yatra will be taken out,” Pandey said.
Briefing about the success of recently-held padyatra on the occasion of the 150th birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi, the BJP leader said that the party took out yatras in 62,695 wards and organised chaupals in 6,120 villages.
“Besides, 1.20 crore pamphlets were distributed, highlighting achievements of both UP and Central governments,” he said.
When asked about the proposed alliance between Samajwadi Party and Bahujan Samaj Party, Pandey said that the BJP was ready to face any challenge as the proposed alliance was opportunistic and was set to be exposed.
