Make BJP invincible: Amit Shah tells partymen in UP

July 29, 2017 20:07

Making the BJP "invincible" should be the goal of party workers and leaders, its chief Amit Shah today said as he stressed on greater co-ordination between the government and the organisation to continue growing from

strength to strength.

"After forming governments in some of the states, the BJP has not lost and is continuously augmenting its strength. In this scenario, our target should be to build a BJP which is invincible," Shah said addressing party office bearers in Lucknow on the first day of his three-day visit to Uttar Pradesh.

He said that the state was in disarray when the BJP won the Uttar Pradesh Assembly election but the Yogi Aditynath Government has within three months fulfilled promises such as loan waiver for farmers and record purchase of wheat.

"In five years, the state government will fulfil each and every promise mentioned in the Sankalp Patra," the BJP chief was quoted as saying in a party statement.

The BJP chief said the party's workers are its strength.

"It is because of the hard work of the party workers that we were able to secure big wins in the country and the state. With better co-ordination between the government and organisation, we will take the policies and work of the Centre and the state government to the people," Shah said.

The BJP chief arrived on a day when two SP and one BSP MLCs quit. The development assumes significance as the saffron party has to soon take a decision on five of its ministers in Uttar Pradesh, including Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, who are not members of either of the two Houses.

Besides Adityanath, Deputy Chief Ministers Keshav Prasad Maurya and Dinesh Sharma, ministers Swatantra Dev Singh and Mohsin Raza are not members of either the state assembly or the legislative council and will have to get elected to one of the Houses to continue as ministers.
