The Bharatiya Janata Party activists here are making arrangements for the three-day Making Of Developed India (MODI) festival to be held in the city from June 13, in which Union Minister Nirmala Seetharaman will participate as the chief guest.
The festival, to be held in the Rajah Tank Park premises, is aimed at creating awareness among the public about the achievements of the Narendra Modi-led National Democratic Alliance government at the Centre in the last three years and conducting interactive sessions with the beneficiaries of different welfare schemes.
“We are also going to highlight those schemes that did not reach the masses. The idea is to make people know the good work being done by the Central government and a slew of subsidies being offered to the weaker sections,” district unit president of the BJP Y. Malakondaiah told a press conference here on Saturday.
He said Ms. Seetharaman would inaugurate the festival on June 13, in which State BJP leaders would participate in large numbers.
Dig at officials
Lambasting officials for failing to publicise the name and image of Prime Minister Narendra Modi even while implementing the Central schemes, Mr. Malakondaiah said the issue would be taken to the notice of the party’s central leadership and action would be sought against those officials.
“Every time, the officials are forcing us to make a hue and cry to give prominence to the Prime Minister during the implementation of the Central schemes. Instead, they are projecting the image of Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu sending wrong notion that those schemes are of the State government,” he claimed.
