The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Sunday held a meeting with party leaders at its central headquarters in New Delhi to discuss organisational expansion and chalk out nationwide social service programs under the 'Seva Sankalp Abhiyan' to mark the 'Modi@25' celebrations.
Addressing reporters after the meeting, BJP National General Secretary Sanjay Bhatia said the gathering provided a platform for mutual introductions and discussions on party strengthening. "It was mostly about introductions among everyone and organisational expansion," Bhatia said. Elaborating on the specific programs discussed during the meet, Telangana BJP leader Ram Chander Rao stated that the party has planned a month-long welfare and outreach campaign to commemorate Prime Minister Narendra Modi completing 25 years in constitutional public office. "The meeting was very useful. We discussed some organisational issues as well as the programmes to be taken up during the Modi@25 celebrations, as he has completed 25 years in public office--13 years as a Chief Minister and 12 years as Prime Minister. We are going to undertake social service activities involving party cadres and society at large, including blood donation drives and several other programmes," Ram Chander Rao said. "These activities will be held from September 17, which is the Prime Minister's birthday, until October 17--one month in total. This service initiative will be known as the 'Seva Sankalp Abhiyan'," he added. Yesterday too, such a meeting took place where the BJP's newly appointed national office-bearers team met with Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The meeting assumed significance as it was the first national office-bearers meeting following the party's organisational overhaul and the formation of a new team under BJP president Nitin Nabin. During the meeting, the BJP passed a resolution condemning the Congress Working Committee's decision to sing only the first two stanzas of 'Vande Mataram'. The Congress, meanwhile, accused the BJP of using nationalism to divert attention from its "failures". The BJP also announced the launch of the nationwide 'Seva Sankalp Abhiyan' from September 17 to October 17 to mark Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 25 years of public life. The party said 'Vande Mataram' is India's National Song and described it as an expression of reverence for Bharat Mata, a symbol of the freedom struggle and an embodiment of the country's national consciousness. The BJP announced that it would undertake a nationwide campaign to spread awareness about the history and significance of the National Song. BJP National General Secretary Vinod Tawde, while addressing the media, shared details of the first National Office Bearers meeting held after the formation of the party's new team under Nitin Nabin, along with the workshop organised on the 'Seva Sankalp Abhiyan'. According to the party's press note, Tawde said the campaign will focus on taking forward the spirit of service demonstrated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his 25 years in public life and connecting it with people across the country. Under the campaign, various service activities, programmes to connect beneficiaries with government schemes and initiatives aimed at involving youth in service and innovation will be organised. Prime Minister Narendra Modi also attended the organisational meeting and interacted with party members."Organisational meetings are all about new ideas and perspectives aimed at strengthening the Party and deepening connect with the people. Great interaction with fellow Party colleagues and the new organisational team!" PM Modi said in a post on X. (ANI)
