Nadda receives exhaustive briefings on people-connect programme
BJP president J.P. Nadda’s two-day meet with the national general secretaries of the party began with exhaustive reporting on the ‘seva hi sanghathan’” (service through organisation) programme he had launched last month, a brief discussion on the Assembly polls just concluded, and day one ended with Mr. Nadda briefing Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the discussions. The meet, which is to end on Sunday, was being held in person, after rates of infection of COVID-19 saw a dip after a massive second wave in April-May. According to a general secretary present at the meeting, the office bearers first gave a detailed presentation each on the work that had been assigned to them under the programme, which envisaged reaching out to over one lakh villages to spread awareness of the pandemic, provide medical and other help to people. “The first half of the meeting was dedicated to briefing by general secretaries and after lunch, Morcha chiefs of the various wings of the party arrived and did their share of presentations as well,” said the source. Mr. Nadda then proceeded to Prime Minister Modi’s residence to brief him on the deliberations.More Related News
