AGENCIES LUCKNOW, June 3: Addressing a state-level workshop organized in Lucknow on the completion of 11 years of the Modi government, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath urged BJP workers to take the achievements of the Central Government to every citizen. Themed "11 Years of Service, Good Governance and Poor Welfare", the event began with floral tributes to Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya. CM Yogi said that it is the good fortune of the nation to have the impactful leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi during the Amrit Kaal of independence. Urging party workers to focus on grassroots engagement, the Chief Minister said it is everyone's responsibility to communicate the government's 11 years of achievements at the booth level. He called for connecting all sections and organisations with the campaign and highlighting success stories of beneficiaries. He said that the 11 years of Modi government's performance form the foundation for realizing the vision of a developed India. "Workers must play an active role in disseminating these achievements at the state, district, mandal, and Shakti Kendra levels." Recalling how BJP workers had taken the achievements of the Uttar Pradesh government's 8-year tenure to every booth, CM Yogi said it is now time to do the same at a national level - showcasing both state and central accomplishments. The Chief Minister encouraged workers not to limit the campaign to the party cadre, but to engage with the general public, professional groups, and direct beneficiaries. Citing recent by-elections, he said that coordinated meetings of party departments and cells had proved effective. BJP's six morchas and 22-23 cells represent every segment of society - including lawyers, doctors, teachers, students, and beneficiaries. Organising meetings with these groups and selecting speakers from among them would ensure effective outreach. Highlighting the success of the Ayushman Bharat scheme, CM Yogi said that where once illness became a crisis for families, today over 50 crore people in India - including 10 crore in Uttar Pradesh - are covered under the scheme. Through the Ayushman Bharat Vay Vandana Yojana, senior citizens above the age of 70 receive free health coverage of up to ?5 lakh, without any discrimination. He urged party workers to distribute Ayushman and ration cards at Shakti Kendras so that beneficiaries feel connected to the government's welfare efforts. |
