“The library will be one ‘spot’ to access details of the party, ideologies and objectives along with books on party leaders. The speech of our former and current PMs will also be available,” Bhatt told Hindustan Times. The library will also reflect the works of the PM that are have been documented by the party’s workers and will be accessible through a common server.
While the objective of the library is to educate BJP workers, it will also be opened to philanthropists, writers, journalists and others who would want to widen their knowledge on the functioning of the party. After winning the assembly polls with a huge majority-- the party bagged 57 out of the 70 seats in the assembly elections--this will be the first time Shah will visit the state.

The state BJP that tries to project unified face, received a jolt when supporters of cabinet minister Satpal Maharaj and Haridwar mayor Manoj Garg clashed in August. State BJP leaders, however, claim that “differences” has been “sorted out” and they are trying to put up a unified picture before the national president.
