KOZHIKODE: The BJP may articulate its views on the Uri Army camp attack by Pakistan-sponsored terrorists at the conclusion of the national council meeting here on Sunday. Prime Minister Narendra Modi may also deal with the issue in his speech during the public rally to be held on the Kozhikode beach on Saturday evening. BJP national general secretary Ram Madhav told reporters on the sidelines of the national council meeting that the party understood the sentiments of the people. All the important issues, including the Uri terror attack, will be taken up at the appropriate level and revealed to the people within the next two days, he said.
Mr. Madhav denied the speculations regarding the border situation, including that that Russian troops had joined Pakistan for a combined show of strength and that Chinese forces too had come over. Many things have happened on the diplomatic level, he said and added, “we will wait and see. Now so many things are floating around. In fact, this national council is different from the earlier ones as we are engaged in constructive thinking,” he said.
The council will come up with various programmes for the next one year along with empowerment of the weaker sections under Antyodaya which was brought forth by Jan Sangh's former all -India national president Deendayal Upadhyaya whose birth centenary celebrations will be launched by Mr Modi on Sunday. Regarding the party’s growth in Kerala, Mr. Madhav said it had secured 15 percent vote share, which is substantial. Earlier, at a meeting of the general secretaries and state organising secretaries, national president Amit Shah pulled them up for under-performing even after being in power for the last two-and-a-half years.
A top Kerala BJP leader told DC that within a year, 'Garib Kalyan,' a novel initiative propagated by Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan, would be implemented in all the BJP-ruled states. “Amit Shah has asked the national general secretaries and organising secretaries that 80 programmes of Mr Modi would have to reach the downtrodden,” said the Kerala leader.
The council meeting will resume at 9.30 a.m. on Saturday and end by 3 p.m. Mr Modi will address a public rally on the beach in the evening when he may raise the Uri terror attack Mr Modi will attend the 'Smriti Sandhya' at Zamorin's Higher Secondary School at 7.30 p.m. where there will be a reunion of the former Jan Sangh leaders who had attended its earlier session in 1967 when Deendayal Upadhyaya was elected as the all-India president. Political and economic resolutions will be passed by the national council on Sunday.
