BJP plans a fortnight of events focussed on social justice on foundation day

The BJP has drawn up elaborate plans to mark the 42nd year of its founding on April 6 with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s address to party workers on Wednesday, a fortnight–long “Samajik Nyay Pakhwada” (Social Justice Camp) on the government’s welfare programmes and BJP president J.P. Nadda meeting envoys of various countries of Europe and India’s neighbourhood as well in a programme called “Know the BJP”.

Prime Minister Modi shared the details of some of the programmes urging the BJP MPs to dedicate themselves to 'seva' (service) as the party embarks on a "samajik nyay pakhwada" from April 7. Speaking at the BJP parliamentary meeting on Tuesday, Prime Minister Modi cited a number of welfare schemes of the government targeting different segments of society and asked MPs to reach out to people with their details.

Mr. Nadda will be meeting the envoys of France, European Union delegation head Ugo Astuto, the envoys of Portugal, Switzerland, Poland, Romania, Bangladesh, Singapore, Slovakia, Italy, Hungary, Vietnam and Norway in what is being said is an interaction about familiarisation with the BJP. Party foreign affairs cell convenor Vijay Chauthaiwale told The Hindu it was "a party initiative, to explain the party's programme, its philosophy and activities to an overseas audience and will be the first part of similar interactions in future".
