The month -long programme will set a trend for the next year’s Lok Sabha elections, sources said.

Meanwhile, Party national general secretary, Tarun Chugh has lambasted the National Conference (NC) and People’s Democratic Party (PDP) leadership for their misleading statements on holding of G-20 meet and The Kerala Story.
Chugh, in an interview while ridiculing NC president, Dr Abdullah’s statement on G-20 summit in Kashmir said “We should welcome that this meet is being held in J&K for the first time and its credit goes to Prime Minister, Narendra Modi”.
“The J&K which was the capital of curfew earlier has become a capital of peace, ‘Rozgar’ (earning) and trust. Holding of G-20 will further stamp it that there is discernable peace in J&K”.
He said “Farooq Abdullah has to criticize the holding of meet as he could not digest that such an extraordinary development has taken place in J&K which was ruined by the few dynasties during their misrule. Now situation is fast changing and this has perturbed the dynasts as their role is over and they have become irrelevant in J&K politics now’’, he added.
He, while taking a dig at Mehbooba Mufti’s remarks on the Kerala Story said being a woman she should have sympathy with the women and girls of Kerala who became part of women trafficking. They were used by ISIS for human supply chain. “Does she want that Indian women be used as slaves?’’ Chugh asked while taking strong exception to PDP chief’s outbursts.
Chugh warned that the daughters of India will not be allowed to be used as human supply chain.
Chugh also termed the opposition parties move of unity a futile exercise. When asked that Chief Minister of Bengal, Mamta Banerjee has sent some feelers in this regard and she is trying to come close to Congress, Chugh said these are “Mongeri Lal Key Sunharay Supney.’’
“They want weak Government to be installed at Centre so that the Ministries are auctioned but the people of this country will never allow that to happen”, he added.
On the allegation of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Modi Government, Chugh accused it of harassing the officers who came forward to reveal truth about the corrupt practices of AAP Government in Delhi.
When the entire country was grappling with COVID pandemic, Delhi Chief Minister, Arvind Kejriwal was busy in constructing a mansion for himself. “It is that Kejriwal who had earlier said that he will not need red carpet or red Bati (light) over his car but now he has constructed a big mansion and the whole truth is before the people , he added.
