Lucknow: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Tuesday kicked off a ‘Maha Sampark Abhiyaan’ – a contact programme aimed at telling the masses about the achievements of the NDA government at the centre in one year.

State party president Laxmikant Bajpayi launched the programme formally at Nagwa village in Ballia, the birth place of 1857 martyr Mangal Pandey.

Union Rural Development Minister Virendra Singh began the programme at Jhansi while Union Minister for Water Resources Uma Bharti kicked off the campaign in Meerut.

Launching the campaign, Bajpayi said the NDA government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi was for the poor, downtrodden and the marginalised sections of society.

Claiming that it was for the first time that union ministers had gone to the door steps of farmers to assess the ground realities after unseasonal rain and hailstorm destroyed their crops, the senior BJP leader said it was the initiative of the Modi government that the crop damage assessment was done at 33 per cent rather than the earlier one of 50 per cent.

Uma Bharti in her address at Meerut said that the union government was moving ahead to fulfil its promises and that she was very hopeful that the cleaning of the Ganga river would be completed by the Modi government. Union Minister Virendra Singh in Jhansi said that the NDA government was committed to comprehensive development of the rural areas.

Union Minister of State for Railways Manoj Singh took part in an event to mark the launch of the campaign in Bareilly. Party spokesman Vijay Bahadur Pathak said the campaign was aimed at taking to every person the achievements of the Narendra Modi government as well as further consolidate the goodwill and membership base of the party in the state.

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.
