The BJP라이브 바카라 first national executive meet after the pandemic held in blended mode – with 125 delegates attending at the NDMC Convention Centre in the national capital and state delegates, including Chief Ministers, attending online
BJP president Jagat Prakash Nadda kicked off the party라이브 바카라 first national executive meet since the pandemic on Sunday morning, congratulating the Narendra Modi government over ‘its steps to combat coronavirus’; seeing the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan as vindication of the CAA and listing out the ‘achievements’ of the government on reaching out to farmers and the Sikh community.
“The population of entire Europe is 75-crores. However, to ensure that the pandemic did not bring in starvation, Prime Minister Narendra Modi took the initiative to supply five-kg grain to 80-crore citizens from May 2020 to November 2021,” Union education minister Dharmendra Pradhan reported Nadda as saying in the closed-door introductory session. “Due this, the economy has begun to come back on track. Businesses have grown, as high GST collections show. Schools and colleges have begun to open. This is because of this initiative. The national executive thanked him for that.”
Saying that the coronavirus situation was unprecedented and that demand for oxygen in one particular week climbed to 9000 metric tonnes, Nadda told the delegates that every effort through rail, road and air was made to rush oxygen, medicine and PPE kits to people. He also commended the government for over 100-crore doses of the vaccine having been administered.
The BJP라이브 바카라 first national executive meet after the pandemic held in blended mode – with 125 delegates attending at the NDMC Convention Centre in the national capital and state delegates, including Chief Ministers, attending online – kicked off at 10 am.
The total number of members in the party라이브 바카라 national executive is about 346, of which 342 attended virtually or in person, with the party introducing a system of digital signatures.
While Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath was supposed to attend the meet virtually, he chose to arrive at the venue to attend the meet, being held months before the UP elections.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah attended the meet.
LK Advani and Murli Manohar Joshi attended virtually, Pradhan said.
Nadda also told the meet that while some had criticized the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, the Taliban takeover in Afghanistan has come as evidence that the law was required to protect minorities in states nearby. He congratulated the PM and Home Minister Shah for the abrogation of Article 370, which once gave Jammu and Kashmir special status, saying that the responsibility to revoke the temporary measure lay with all governments. He said the result is “progress”: “Tourism and investment there have gone up.”
Nadda also addressed the issue of farmers – farmers from Punjab, Haryana and west UP have been protesting against the Centre라이브 바카라 farm laws for about a year – and the Sikh community, at a time when elections in Punjab are approaching.
“Many are saying many things. As per facts, in 2014, there was only 23,000-crore farm expenditure allocated in the budget. In the last budget, expenditure amount has gone up to Rs. 1,23,000-crore,” Pradhan quoted Nadda as saying. “The MSP for paddy, rice, etc., has gone up.”
“Many programmes have been launched for Dalits, backwards and Adivasis,” Pradhan said, pointing out that Nadda made specific mention of some initiatives for the Sikh minority community.
“For Sikhs, there have been four key initiatives that Nadda ji mentioned. Sikh gurudwaras and social organisations did not have FCRA grant facility earlier. It was simplified by the Modi government. Langar (community meals) was under GST earlier; now it is free from GST. Spending Rs. 120-crore, Kartarpur Corridor was put in place. The setting up of an SIT on the 1984 riots and expediting the process of providing justice was also done,” Pradhan said.
Nadda told the delegates that while the party라이브 바카라 spread in Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Odisha and Telangana are challenges – though, he added, the party was now picking up in Telangana – Assam and Tripura have been resounding successes.
He said that while the party did grow fast in Bengal, it “lost 53 activists” in the process and would strive to “democratically rid Bengal of chaotic elements”.
Nadda also set out the path of the party라이브 바카라 organizational expansion: 10, 40, 000 booth committees by December 25, 2021, a like number of page committees – corresponding to each page in election registers – by April 6, 2022, the party라이브 바카라 foundation day, and the provision of an institutional mechanism to play Modi라이브 바카라 Mann Ki Baat at each booth-level committee.
