‘Strengthen BJP at the grassroots’

Staff Correspondent

Bidar: Minister for Small-scale Industries and BJP leader Shivananda Naik has asked party workers to work for strengthening the party at the grassroots level.

“Only when we have the party strongly organised at the village levels, we can aspire to gain power in the State and at the Centre,” he said. He was speaking at a function held to felicitate him at the party office here on Tuesday.

Bidar had been considered a BJP bastion. We should all strive to retain it that way, he said.

“Voters of Bidar sent a Janasangha leader to the Assembly way back in 1957. Ramachandra Veerappa was elected to the Lok Sabha four times in succession on a BJP ticket. We should all be proud of this,” he said.

District BJP president Baburao Madakatti honoured the Minister. MLA Prakash Khandre, State Mahila Morcha vice- president Shakuntala Beldale and district Mahila Morcha president Chandrakala Vishwakarma were among those present.
