Lucknow: BJP leader and party in-charge of Uttar Pradesh, Om Mathur, who will arrive here Thursday will kickstart the party’s membership drive, a leader said.

Party spokesman Vijay Bahadur Pathak said Mathur will also meet the office bearers of various wings of the party as well as all the 75 district party presidents.

Bharatiya Janata Party’s national president Amit Shah has tasked Mathur with the state and this is his first visit to the state after taking charge as general secretary in-charge.

Sources said Mathur was given the charge for his “deep understanding” of ground realities, organizational skills and strategy making with an eye on the 2017 state assembly elections.

Insiders said Mathur is also likely to brainstorm on the party’s offensive against the state’s Samajwadi Party (SP) government led by Akhilesh Yadav.

He will be accompanied by national deputy chief of the membership drive Vinay Sahasrabuddhe.

The RG Marathon Championship Run 2023 in Goa was a testament to inclusivity. Initially resistant to including persons with disabilities, it eventually featured wheelchair and standing categories, thanks to advocates’ efforts. Participants showed exceptional determination, emphasizing unity in diversity. Despite challenging weather, they demonstrated the power of community support, highlighting the need for accessibility and inclusion in all state-level events in Goa.

Following the marathon, a gathering of differently-abled individuals, predominantly wheelchair users, convened for a celebratory lunch at Barzilla. The event, orchestrated by Mr. Shariq Khan and Mr. Zain Aftab, proprietors of Barzilla, honored the birthday of Sadaf Fatima, who also uses a wheelchair and is Mr. Shariq Khan’s wife.

 

The lunch featured esteemed guests including the Tourism Minister of Goa, MLA Rohan Khaunte of Porvorim, Social Welfare Minister Subhash Phal Desai, and the State Commissioner for Persons with Disability in Goa, Guruprasad Pawaskar. The event was impeccably hosted by Ms. Falak Fatima and Mr. Adarsh Parashar, offering activities such as Karaoke and Billiards. The youth of Goa exhibited their unwavering support for the community, making the party an unequivocal success.
