A 21-day long festival, ‘vikas parv’, to celebrate the government’s development programmes, will be organised across the country from March 26. As part of the celebrations, 33 teams have been set up, each comprising a cabinet minister, one minister of state and party functionaries from the national, state and district levels.
The Modi Government has zeroed-in on 200 “nerve centres” comprising state capitals and metro cities, to highlight its achievement in the last two years. The NDA government completes two years on May 26.
A 21-day-long festival, ‘vikas parv’, to celebrate the government’s development programmes, will be organised across the country from May 26. As part of the celebrations, 33 teams have been set up, each comprising a cabinet minister, one minister of state and party functionaries from the national, state and district levels.
Each team will visit six to seven “nerve centres” where they will highlight the government’s achievements.
Besides sending central teams across the country, the party will also organise a gala five-hour show at India Gate in the Capital on May 28. The show is likely to be attended by Bollywood star Amitabh Bachchan. The government is in touch with film and TV stars, seeking their participation.
An internal note circulated to all the central ministers and department heads has laid down the strategy the teams will have to adopt to reach out to people.
“We are planning to hold seminars and discussions with beneficiaries of welfare schemes. Meetings will also be held with various groups including industry bodies, women’s organisation and farmers. Meetings will be held with the public for grievance redressal,”said a party leader.
BJP MPs have been directed to spend two days in each assembly segment under their parliamentary constituency and hold meetings with their constituents.
“The idea is to reach out to maximum number of people in the country and showcase our work,” said a source.
Besides, the central team comprising cabinet ministers and MoS, eight chief ministers and one deputy CM of BJP-ruled states are also being roped in for the celebrations.
The CMs have been asked to spend at least two days within their home town and two days outside the state, to highlight significant projects, policies and welfare schemes of the government.
