While speaking in the meeting, Khanna said that the party activists have to fan out in every nook and corner with an objective of informing and enlightening the people about various welfare schemes launched by PM Modi exclusively for women, youth, senior citizens, border people, farmers, weaker and disadvantaged sections etc. He said that a lot has been done during the last two years by Narendra Modi which reflects commitment of his government as well as that of BJP to ensure progress and prosperity of the people in the entire country and in every region without any discrimination.
Khanna also discussed the ways and means to further strengthen the party machinery adding that ours is the largest political party in the world and the people across the country have high hopes from us. He said that the party activists have to act as bridge between the government and the people so that the problems of the masses are attended to and their grievances get addressed to their satisfactions. He also added that bringing ignored, neglected and down trodden segments of the society to the forefront in the social firmament of the country should be ensured so that they become equal partners in the progress of the entire country.
