Ravinder Raina said that the BJP is undertaking a country-wide mega campaign “Gaon Chalo Abhiyan” and in the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir, it will be undertaken from February 8 to 10.

Raina further said that the objective of this three-day campaign is to meet the local residents, the beneficiaries of Modi Government’s schemes, leaders of non-BJP parties, Self Help Groups, NGOs, retired employees, business community, and other prominent personalities of a particular village or Ward. The party activists visiting the village or Ward, will seek feedback about the Central Government welfare schemes, and their impact on the lives of the poor, needy people and compile suggestions, if any, for further implementation of the schemes. They will also place the BJP’s report card before the people and make them aware of the need to support the BJP in the upcoming elections so that Narendra Modi assumes the chair of PM for the third consecutive term and further speed up the welfare schemes.
Pawan Khajuria said that Modi Government has scripted a new history of the country by taking the out of box decisions to make India the Vishwa Guru. He said this is the first Government after independence which really worked for welfare of every section of society irrespective of their religion, region and language.
