Vijayawada: Except BJP, there is no national party left in the country, said BJP National  President J. Nadda on Monday. Addressing heads of Shakti Kendras and workers two meeting held at Siddhartha College in Vijayawada.

He described Indian National Congress has reduced to a brother and sister party. He also described other parties like Shiv Sena as a party of father and son, YSRCP and TDP parties both are family dynastic parties.

He told party workers at a meeting here that BJP’s fight is no longer with any national party in the country. If there is a national party, it is the BJP. We are fighting against family rule, he said listing out the parties in various states. Nadda claimed that Narendra Modi has changed polity and political culture of the country by eliminating family centric, caste and community based politics, appeasement and corruption.

He said out of 10K Shakti Kendras in the state, appointments have been made for more than 6K Kendras while appointments will be made in remaining Kendras soon. He pointed out 4-5 booths come under each Shakti Kendras and there are 10.40 lakh booths in the country. Stating that there are 46K booths in Andhra Pradesh, he urged their heads to reach to all booths, hold meetings with workers and bring new workers to the party fold. He called for enrolling members from all sections of the society including Dalits, tribals and minorities.

He urged Kendra heads to identify beneficiaries of Central Government schemes at the booth level. Find out who are getting food grains under PM Gareeb Kalyan Anna Yojna and what change it has brought in their life. Similarly identify beneficiaries of PM Awas Yojana, find out if they have received houses and what change it has brought in their life, he said.

He claimed that Aarogyasri scheme being implemented in Andhra Pradesh is not the scheme of the State Government but it is the Central Government’s scheme. Ayushman Bharat has been changed as Aarogyasri by Jagan Mohan Reddy. It’s not Jagan’s scheme, it is Narendra Modi’s scheme, he said.

He also asked them to arrange booth level meetings on the last Sunday of every month to listen to Prime Minister Modi’s Mann ki baat programme. All workers should gather and listen to Mann ki baat, discuss and eat together by exchanging food carried from their houses, he said.
