‘Take welfare schemes to grassroots level’

April 18, 2015 12:00 am | Updated 07:05 am IST - DIMAPUR:

As part of efforts to strengthen the party in the North-Eastern states, the BJP president Amit Shah on Friday exhorted party leaders here to take developmental schemes enumerated by the Narendra Modi government to grassroots level and monitor them to keep a check on corruption.

On the second day of his four-day tour of North-Eastern States, Mr. Shah held meetings with Nagaland BJP leaders and asked them to strengthen the party base.

The BJP chief also called on Nagaland Governor P. B. Acharya and discussed schemes for welfare of tribals as well as the law and order situation in the state. He met representatives of some social organisations, including the supreme Naga Hoho, the apex social body of the Nagas, besides members of the business community.

He also met leaders of all religions here, including Muslims, Christians and Hindus.

Mr. Shah later met all 11 district presidents of BJP in the state and assessed various party activities and asked them to step up the work to strengthen it.
