The Bharatiya Janata Party state in-charge Dushyant Kumar Gautam said that in the present situation, the BJP doesn’t face a challenge from any political party. Addressing the working committee meeting of the party on Saturday, he said that the fight is between the BJP and anti-national forces. Such elements are targeting faith, culture and religion. Referring to the Kumbh Mela in Haridwar being referred to as a super spreader of Covid, he said that the rivals ignored the situation in Maharashtra, Punjab, Jharkhand, Delhi and other states. He said that those who tried to hinder the construction of Ram temple in Ayodhya and questioned the existence of Ram and now spreading rumours about the temple. Citing the example of the squirrel which contributed to the construction of the Ram Setu, he exhorted the party workers to contribute to nation building.
Earlier, the meeting was inaugurated by BJP State president Madan Kaushik, Gautam, chief minister Tirath Singh Rawat and other party office bearers.
Speaking on the occasion, Kaushik opined that all opposition parties had worked to misguide the public during the Covid pandemic but the BJP workers continued to serve the public amidst the pandemic often facing risks to their own health. The party established a total of 15 Covid control rooms across the state and provided help to thousands of people day and night through the control rooms. Facilitating oxygen, ventilators, hospital beds or even ration, the party workers did the needful. While the BJP was fighting against the virus amidst the pandemic, the opposition was fighting against the BJP, he said. Kaushik further said that during the second wave of Covid-19, the state government worked on a war footing to facilitate the required health services. A 500-bed Covid care facility was set up in Rishikesh within three weeks with the help of Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO). A similar 500-bed facility was established in Haldwani with the help of DRDO in a record 21 days. The state government did the needful to provide ventilators, oxygen supported beds, oxygen cylinders and other health facilities for Covid treatment. Referring to the Salt assembly bypoll, he said that the opposition had termed it the semi-final to the 2022 assembly polls. The BJP won the semi-final by a considerable majority and will also win the final in a similar manner, said Kaushik.
The party’s state general secretary (organisation) Ajey informed about the party’s planned activities. He said that 15 programmes have been planned. The state level training programme will be held for six weeks from 20 June in six sessions. The party is planning to hold Yoga camps till the booth level on international Yoga day on June 21.
