Maha BJP to hold interactive progs on govt's 1st anniversary

The Maharashtra unit of BJP is set to hold grand 'interactive' programmes across the state from October 19 to celebrate one year of its government in the state.
Party legislators and senior workers held a meeting today, which was presided over by Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and BJP Maharashtra president Raosaheb Danve, and decided that the ministers, party leaders and elected representatives will hold programmes at the divisional, district and taluka levels to talk to people on various government decisions, BJP spokesman Madhav Bhandari said.
The meeting was organised to "purely discuss" the government's achievements and there was no mention of Shiv Sena at the meet, he said.

"The meeting was only held to discuss various achievements of the state government and how do we put them in front of the people. There was no mention of the Shiv Sena anywhere in the meeting," Bhandari told PTI.
"Last year we won elections on October 19 and took oath on the 31st. Hence, we have decided to hold various programmes from October 19 to 31 wherein we will interact with people and tell them what the government has done," he said.
The party will print materials like booklets and CDs that will be distributed among people upto the tehsil level.

"Different wings of the party, like the youth wing and women's wing, will hold separate unique programmes. The idea is to ensure that we interact with the maximum number of people. Social media cell will also take part in 'Lok Samvad' (interactive sessions)," he said.
Bhandari said camps will be held at divisional levels where 50 party workers will be selected and trained to articulate the government's achievements.
"State leaders will address these select 50 workers who will carry forward their work at the divisional level. Though the programmes will be held till October 31, we may extend it for 15 days if required," he added.
