BJP workers told to take people into confidence

TIRTHAHALLI: Former Minister D.H. Shankaramurthy said on Thursday that the intention of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to hold taluk-level party workers’ meetings this week was to strengthen the party at the grassroots.

Inaugurating a workers’ convention here, he said such conventions were useful in motivating the party workers, particularly in rural areas.

He said that there had been no disciplined, coordinated and confident second-line leadership in other parties. Only the BJP was known to have such a second-line leadership.

He urged the party workers to take the people into confidence in their efforts to build the party.

He said that it was possible to usher in “Ram Rajya” in the State if the BJP was voted to power in the coming Assembly elections.

Development works initiated by the BJP as the partner of the coalition Government should become the basis for its manifesto, he said.

The BJP’s intention was to move closer to the people before forming its own government, he said.

Former BJP MLA from Tirthahalli Araga Jnanendra, president of the district unit of the BJP Girish Patel, general secretary S. Dattatri, member of the zilla panchayt Ashokmurthy, president of the taluk panchayat Revathi Ananthamurthy, president of the taluk BJP unit Nagaraj Shetty and Chandavalli Somasekhar were present.

C.B. Eshwar welcomed the gathering.
